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.

The sum of the measures of two adjacent angles is 72 degrees. The ratio of the smaller angle to the
Goryan [66]

Answer:

The larger angle is 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the angles be: θ and α where

θ > α

Sum = 72

α : θ = 1 : 3

Required

Determine the larger angle

First, we get the proportion of the larger angle (from the ratio)

The sum of the ratio is 1 + 3 = 4

So, the proportion of the larger angle is ¾.

Its value is then calculated as:.

θ = Proportion * Sum

θ = ¾ * 72°

θ = 3 * 18°

θ = 54°
