Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:x+y+z=100(let x ,y,z represent the first second and third numbers respectively)

Therefore,y=2z

z=x-8

y=2x-16

substituting the values of x,y and z into the question,we have

x+(2x-16)+(x-8)=100

Simplifying,we have

4x-24=100

adding 24 to both sides of the equation,

4x=100+24

4x=124

dividing both sides of the equation by the co-efficient of x,we have

4x/4=124/4

4.31=124

therefore,x=31.

Answer:

  in any numerical computation; numerical values can only be rational numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Any time a number is written down as a numerical value, it is a rational number. The numerical values we give to π or e or any root, logarithm, trig function, and polynomial solution are, of necessity, rational approximations to the true value. An "exact" value for an irrational number cannot be written down, so it must be approximated any time its numerical value is needed.
