The first thief takes (1/2 x + 1) . What remains ? x - (1/2x + 1)
So the 2nd thief takes 2/3 of [ x - (1/2x + 1) ]
What remains ? x - 2/3 [ x - (1/2x + 1) ]
So the 3rd thief takes 2/3 of { x - 2/3 [ x - (1/2x + 1) ] } and he takes 1 more .
What remains ? x - ( 2/3 { x - 2/3 [ x - (1/2x + 1) ] } + 1 )
And that whole ugly thing is equal to ' 1 ', so you can solve it for 'x'..
The whole problem from here on is an exercise in simplifying
an expression with a bunch of 'nested' parentheses in it.
===============================================
This is a lot harder than just solving the problem with logic and
waving your hands in the air. Here's how you would do that:
Start from the end and work backwards:
-- One diamond is left.
-- Before the 3rd thief took 1 more, there were 2.
-- That was 1/3 of what was there before the 3rd man took 2/3.
So he found 6 when he arrived.
-- 6 was 1/3 of what was there before the second thief helped himself.
So there were 18 when the 2nd man arrived.
-- 18 was 1 less than what was there before the first thief took 1 extra.
So he took his 1 extra from 19.
-- 19 was the remaining after the first man took 1/2 of all on the table.
So there were 38 on the table when he arrived.
Thank you for your generous 5 points.

Define x :
-----------------------------------------------
Let the smallest number be x.
The other two numbers will be x+1 and x+2.
-----------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
-----------------------------------------------
The sum of all 3 numbers is 78
⇒ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
-----------------------------------------------
Solve x :
-----------------------------------------------
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
3x + 3 = 78
3x = 78 - 3
3x = 75
x = 25
-----------------------------------------------
Answer: Smallest number = 25

Answer:
The correct option is;
Low
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the P-value of the linear correlation = 0.001, we have that the P-value is a demonstration that a linear correlation that has a value in the range of the given correlation is ,most arguably very low
From the z-table, a P-value of 0.001 corresponds to a z-value of -3.09, we have that in a normal distribution since 95% of the scores have a z-score of between -2 and 2, the z-score of -3.09 is very distant from the mean and having a low value, whereby the P-value shows that the likelihood of finding another linear correlation that is as far from the mean as the given correlation is very low.
The Greatest Common Factor of the given expression should be that expression that can divide both. First, factor both expression,
x^4 = (x³)(x) and x³ = (x³)(1)
Therefore, both can be factored by x³. The answer is the third choice.
Answer :Plotting the points into the coordinate plane gives us an observation that this quadrilateral with vertices d(0,0), i(5,5) n(8,4) g(7,1) is a KITE, as shown in figure a.
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering the quadrilateral with vertices
d(0,0)
i(5,5)
n(8,4)
g(7,1)
Plotting the points into the coordinate plane gives us an observation that this quadrilateral with vertices d(0,0), i(5,5) n(8,4) g(7,1) is a KITE, as shown in figure a.
From the figure a, it is clear that the quadrilateral has
Two pairs of sides
Each pair having two equal-length sides which are adjacent
The angles being equal where the two pairs meet
Diagonals as shown in dashed lines cross at right angles, and one of the diagonals does bisect the other - cuts equally in half
Please check the attached figure a.
