X+y+z=51

y=2z
z=9+x

subsitute those

x+2z+9+x=51
x+2(9+x)+9+x=51
x+18+2x+9+x=51
4x+27=51
minus 27 both sides
4x=24
divide by 4
x=6

sub back

z=9+x
z=9+6
z=15

y=2z
y=2(15)
y=30

the numbers are

Sum of three numbers = 51
<u>1. Write Out Equation Using Giving Info:
</u><u />x + 2x + x + 9 = 51
<u>2. Combine Like Terms:</u>
4x + 9 = 51
<u>3. Evaluate for X:
</u><u />4x = 42
<u>4. Divide both sides by 4:
</u><u />x = 10.5

First: 10.5, Second: 39, Third: 19.5

A trapezoid has an area of 329 square feet. If the bases are 30 feet and 17 feet, what is the height of the trapezoid in feet? F
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The correct option is C.  14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the height, we will follow the steps below;

Formula is given to be:  h = 2A / b1 +b2

where h = height of the trapezoid   b1 and b2 are the bases of the trapezoid    and A is the area of the trapezoid

From the question given;

Area A =329 feet²      b1 = 30 feet    b2 =17 feet  

We can now proceed to insert the values into the formula

h = 2A / b1 +b2

h= 2(329)  / 30 + 17

h = 658 /47

h=14 feet

iren2701 [21]
Null: the mean amount of peanut butter in a jar is equal to 32 oz.
alternative: the mean amount of peanut butter in a Jar is less than 32oz.

type 1 error is is rejecting the null when it is actually true. this means that we would say that the mean amount of peanut butter is not equal to 32 when it actually is.

type 2 error is failing to reject the null when it is actually false. this means that we would say the mean amount of peanut butter is equal to 32 when in reality it is less.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

bucket of water = 50.397 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Pi(r^2)(h) = volume

3.14(6^2)(12) = 1356.48 in^3 = volume of bucket

one ft^3 = 12 x 12 x 12 = 1728 in^3

1356.48/1728 = 0.785 ft^3 (volume of bucket)

0.785(64.2) = 50.397 lbs
