Answer:
a) 39 b) 17
Step-by-step explanation:
12x - 9
12(4) - 9
48 - 9
39
d/15 + 13
(60)/15 + 13
4 + 13
17
X=root(12+root(12+root(...)))
x^2=12+root(12+root(12+root(...)))
x^2=12+x
x^2-x-12=0
(x+3)(x-4)=0
X=4
38+39+40 = 117.
So the first of the three numbers is 38.
You would first make the fractions improper (making the numerator bigger then the denominator) in order to do that times the denominator with the whole number and add the numerator.
Ex) 3*8 = 24 + 5 = 29/8
Then you would add both of the improper fractions
The answer is 177.57 please mark me as brainliest since I'm first to answer, thanks,~Kashout kam
