Answer:

x = 11, y = 3 and z = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three numbers be x, y and z.  Then x + y + z = 69

Then y = x - 8, and z = 5x.  Substituting these expressions in x into

x + y + z = 69, we get:  x + x - 8 + 5x = 69, or

7x = 77, so that x = 11.

If x = 11, then:

y = x - 8 = 11 - 8 = 3, and:

z = 5x = 5(11) = 55

Then x = 11, y = 3 and z = 55.

Check:  Do these three numbers add up to 69?  11 + 3 + 55 = 69?  YES

Answer:

They are 3, 11 and 55.

Step-by-step explanation:

x +y + z = 69

y = x - 8

z = 5x

Substitute z = 5x in the first equation:

x + y + 5x = 69

6x + y = 69.........(1)

From the second equation

-x + y = -8.........(2)

Subtract equations (1) - (2):

7x = 77

x = 11

So z = 5x = 5*11 = 55 and

y =  x - 8 = 11 - 8 = 3..

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find how many friends are playing. This can be found in the equation 5-3. Now you multiply by six to find the cost. If you chose C, that would be incorrect, because the () you would mltilply first (30) and then subtract 3 (27). You can also think of it as finding the cost of how much all of them want to play by using the distributive property, leaving you with 30 - 18, and subtract from there to get 12.

Find S18 for geometric series given a5=-6 and a2= -48
Ganezh [65]

an = a1r^(n-1)

a5 = a1 r^(5-1)

-6 =a1 r^4


a2 = a1 r^(2-1)

-48 = a1 r


divide

-6 =a1 r^4

----------------    yields   1/8 = r^3      take the cube root  or each side

-48 = a1 r                     1/2 = r


an = a1r^(n-1)

an = a1 (1/2)^ (n-1)

-48 = a1 (1/2) ^1

divide by 1/2

-96 = a1


an = -96 (1/2)^ (n-1)


the sum

Sn = a1[(r^n - 1/(r - 1)]

S18 = -96 [( (1/2) ^17 -1/ (1/2 -1)]

       =-96 [ (1/2) ^ 17 -1 /-1/2]

      = 192 * [-131071/131072]

 approximately -192

At what point of the curve y = cosh(x does the tangent have slope 2?
Dahasolnce [82]
The hyperbolic cos (cosh) is given by
cosh (x) = (e^x + e^-x) / 2
The slope of a tangent line to a function at a point is given by the derivative of that function at that point.
d/dx [cosh(x)] = d/dx[(e^x + e^-x) / 2] = (e^x - e^-x) / 2 = sinh(x)
Given that the slope is 2, thus
sinh(x) = 2
x = sinh^-1 (2) = 1.444

Therefore, the curve of y = cosh(x) has a slope of 2 at point x = 1.44
