The sum of three numbers is 14. The second number

Mathematics
1 answer:
hoa [83]3 years ago
8 0

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

If a+b=9 and ab=18,find the value of a and b.
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Given:

a + b = 9

=> a = 9 - b

Given:

a x b = 18

=> (9 - b) x b = 18

=> 9b - b^2 = 18

=> b^2 - 9b + 18 = 0

=> (b - 3)(b - 6) = 0

=> b = 3 => a = 6

=> b = 6 => a = 3

Hope this helps
