Looks like you did most of it.

The next step would be setting them equal to 105, like the problem suggests.

$5z+3x+7x=105$

$15x=105$

$x=7$

Then we can plug back in to find the numbers.

$5*7=35$

$3*7=21$

$7*7=49$

$35+21+49=105$

The three numbers are $35, 21, 49$ .

Hope this helps.

頑張って!

Q1
Since the sum of 3 number be 105
So
5x+3x+7x=105
15x=105
X=7
1st number=35
2nd number=21
3rd number =49

Q2
Let first number be=x
Second number be=2x
Sum of this two number is 24
so x+2x=24
3x=24
X=8
1st number=8
2nd number=16

Hope this can help.

Identify the domain and range of the function f(x) = 2x2 − 6x − 9.

mash [69]

Range is the y values or ouputs
domain is inputs or x vvalues

we can use any x value
but at a certain y value, w can't go below that
find thatminimum
find the vertex
for
ax^2+bx+c
the x value of the vertex is
-b/2a
plug that in to the equaiton to get the y value

-b/2a=-(-6)/(2*2)=6/4=3/2

plug that in
2(3/2)^2-6(3/2)-9
2(9/4)-9-9
9/2-18
4.5-18
-13.5

domain=all real numbers
range=from -13.5 to positive infinity

A group of 5 men are meeting for lunch.

Sladkaya [172]

Tile:

<h2>See the explanation.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

There were total 5 men wearing coats.

5 coats can be returned to 5 men in 5! = 120 ways.

The coats can be returned to the accurate persons only in 1 way.

Hence, the probability that each man gets the correct coat is $\frac{1}{120}$ .

(b)

At the time of returning the first coat, the hostess will have 5 choices and for the second she will have 4 choices.

Hence, in $5\times4 = 20$ ways the hostess can return the 2 coats.

There is only 1 possible case that each of the coats will return to the correct owner.

Hence, the required probability is $\frac{1}{20}$ .

Katie gives Maggie half of her pencils. Maggie keeps 5 pencils and gives the rest to Jamil. A. Write an expression for the numbe

Alexandra [31]

Here's what I mean when I write x/2 JUST IN CASE.

а.

Let the total number of pencils be x, then this implies that Maggie received x/2 pencils from Katie. Maggie keeps 5 and give the rest to Jamil, this means

that Jamil receives

x/2-5 pencils.

b. Expression of pencils given to Jamil is: x/2-5

Substitute x=16 in this expression: x/2-5

Simplify and evaluate: = 8-5= 3

Maggie gives 3 pencils to Jamil.

c. Expression of pencils given to Jamil is: x/2-5 to

Equate this expression with 1 to form an equation and solve for x all, the total

number of pencils if Jamil received 1 pencil:

x/2 - 5 = 1

Solve for x:

x = 2(1+ 5)

Evaluate:

x = 2(6) = 12

Katie had 12 pencils if Jamil received 1 pencil.

RESULT

a. Expression of number of pencils given to Jamil is x/2-5, where x is total number of pencils.

b. Maggie gives 3 pencils to Jamil.

c. Katie had 12 pencils if Jamil received 1 pencil.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

$15$

Step-by-step explanation:

if $f(x) = x^2 -2x$ , then that means that $f(5) = (5)^2 - 2(5)$ which equals $15$ .
