Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:x+y+z=100(let x ,y,z represent the first second and third numbers respectively)
Therefore,y=2z
z=x-8
y=2x-16
substituting the values of x,y and z into the question,we have
x+(2x-16)+(x-8)=100
Simplifying,we have
4x-24=100
adding 24 to both sides of the equation,
4x=100+24
4x=124
dividing both sides of the equation by the co-efficient of x,we have
4x/4=124/4
4.31=124
therefore,x=31.
Answer: They cost the same amount.
Step-by-step explanation:
35(0.20)=7
35-7=28
40(0.30)=12
40-12=28
28=28
Answer:
Let x be odd such that LCM {x,40} = 1400 .
Since 1400 = 23×52×7 , then
x ∈ {5m×7n∣(m,n) ∈ {0,1,2}×{0,1}} .
By testing these values, we find that x = 175 .
