Mathematics
1 answer:
hoa [83]3 years ago

Answer:

4 , 3 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x , y and z

i) The sum of three numbers is 14.

x+y+z=14

ii) The second number is 5 less than twice the first number x.

y=2x-5

iii) The third number is 3 more than the first number x.

z=x+3

Hence

x+y+z=14

x + (2x-5) + (x+3) = 14

x + 2x -5 + x +3 =14

4x-5+3=14

4x-2=14

Adding 2 on both sides

4x=16

Diving whole equation by 4

x=4

Hence the numbers are

4 , 2(4)-5 , 4+3

4,3,7

How do I solve this, it's not 10
guapka [62]

Answer:

26.7

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because 26.7/20 = (16+26.7)/32

When two triangles are similar, it means their sides are also proportional. The reason why it is not ten is because you need to add 10 to 16 to the large triangle as well, which no longer makes it proportional.

To solve, you create a formula.

(16+x)/32=x/20

Multiply both sides by 32 to get rid of the 32 in the left side.

16+x=32x/20

Multiply both sides by 20 to get rid of the 20 right side.

320+20x=32x

-20x on both sides to get all the variables on one side and all the nukbers on the other.

320=12x

Divide both sides by 12 to get x by itself

x=26.66667

A line with a slope -2 passes through the point (-1,4). Which equation represents this line in point-slope form?
sesenic [268]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y-4 = -2(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope equation of a line is ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

You have m = -2 and (h, k) = (-1, 4). Putting these numbers into the above form gives ...

  y -4 = -2(x +1)
