    We'll be glad to help if you first show us your attempt at setting up equations that convey the facts you have been given. For example, if x = number of seats on the second aircraft, then the number of seats on the first is x+59. Now do the same for the third aircraft, and add them up. The total is 422, so you can solve for x, and from that determine the seats on each aircraft.
