Answer:

<u>150</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

⇒ The numbers can be denoted as <u>x</u>, <u>3x</u>, and <u>5x</u>

<u />

=============================================================

Solving :

⇒ It mentions their sum is 270

⇒ x + 3x + 5x = 270

⇒ 9x = 270

⇒ x = 30

=============================================================

Largest number :

⇒ 5x

⇒ 5(30)

⇒ <u>150</u>

<u>Answer</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

  • Largest number is 150.

<u>Step</u><u> </u><u>by</u><u> step</u><u> explaination</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

Here we have been given with the ratio of three numbers that is 1 : 3 : 5. So let us assume a common factor for them , we are assuming it as y.

Therefore,

  • First number = 1 → 1 × y = 1y
  • Second number = 3 → 3 × y = 3y
  • Third number = 5 → 5 × y = 5y

Sum of them is 270 :

>> 1y + 3y + 5y = 270

>> 4y + 5y = 270

>> 9y = 270

>> y = 270 / 9

>> y = 90 / 3

>> y = 30

Henceforth, value of y is 30.

★ Finding out first number :-

>> First number = 1y

>> First number = 1 × 30

>> First number = 30

★ Finding out second number :-

>> Second number = 3y

>> Second number = 3 × 30

>> Second number = 90

★ Finding out third number :-

>> Third number = 5y

>> Third number = 5 × 30

>> Third number = 150

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are 5, 12, and 13. What is the length of the altitude drawn to the side with length equal
mario62 [17]

Answer:  using  A= bh/2   THe height is 9.23

Step-by-step explanation:  First, with the Right Angle at the bottom, usr the sides to compute the area:  12*5=60

THen Imagine the side=13 as the base, so you have  b=13 for the formula

use the formula A= bh/2

60 = 13h/2 ==> 2(60) =13h --> 120/13 = h

h = 9.23

Factor the polynomial.<br> 13x² – 20x – 12
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

(13 x + 6) (x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

13 x^2 - 20 x - 12

Factor the quadratic 13 x^2 - 20 x - 12. The coefficient of x^2 is 13 and the constant term is -12. The product of 13 and -12 is -156. The factors of -156 which sum to -20 are 6 and -26. So 13 x^2 - 20 x - 12 = 13 x^2 - 26 x + 6 x - 12 = x (13 x + 6) - 2 (13 x + 6):

x (13 x + 6) - 2 (13 x + 6)

Factor 13 x + 6 from x (13 x + 6) - 2 (13 x + 6):

Answer: (13 x + 6) (x - 2)

C + 6 &gt; 5c - 2<br>solved and proof​
Elena L [17]

Hi there!  

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:  

c < 2

»»————- ★ ————-««  

Here’s why:  

⸻⸻⸻⸻

c+6>5c - 2\\--------------\\\\\rightarrow5c - 2< c + 6 \leftarrow \text{Notice how the sides are switched.}\\\\\rightarrow 5c - c -2 < c - c + 6\\\\\rightarrow 4c -2 < 6\\\\\rightarrow 4c - 2 + 2 < 6 + 2\\\\\rightarrow 4c  < 8\\\\\rightarrow \frac{4c

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
