There are infinitely many solutions to this problem (which is why it asks what could those numbers be), so you just have to make one up!

Start with the first sentence.
x + y + z = 6.0

Now one of those numbers has to be less than 1. I'll choose x. And I'll choose a random number, say, 0.7.

0.7 + y + z = 6.0

Now I'll subtract 0.7 from both sides to see what y and z have to add up to.

0.7 + y + z - 0.7 = 6.0 - 0.7
y + z = 5.3

Now I'll choose a random number for y that's less than 5.3.

2.6 + z = 5.3

And subtract 2.6 from both sides to find z.

2.6 + z - 2.6 = 5.3 - 2.6
z = 2.7

And now we have our numbers!
x = <u>0.7</u>
y = <u>2.6</u>
z = <u>2.7</u>

A dance floor has a perimeter of 60 meters. The dance floor is 20 meters long. Write an equation to represent the perimeter of t
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

20 meters long and 10 meters wide

Step-by-step explanation:

since the perimeter is 60 and one side of it is 20 then you multiply 20 by 2, 40, to get both sides. Then you subtract 40 from 60 leaving the other two sides as 20, meaning that if you divide 20 by 2 you can find that the width of the dance floor is 10 meters long.

Write an equation of the line passing through the point A(2, 0) that is parallel to the line y = 3x−5
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

y = 3x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x−5

This is in slope intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

m =3

Parallel lines have the same slope

We have the slope m=3 and a point (2,0)

y = mx+b

y = 3x+b

Substituting the point into the equation to solve for b

0 = 3(2)+b

0 = 6+b

b = -6

y = 3x-6

What is 1/10th of 2,871,000?
abruzzese [7]
This is fairly simple. Divide 2,871,000 by 10 and that's your answer!

\frac{2,871,000}{10} =287,100

Also, since you're dividing by a factor of 10 (or in this case, <em>10</em>) you can just take away as many places as are zeros in the number you're dividing from. This works for <em>10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, etc. </em>In this case, since there is only one zero in 10 you only take away one place marking, which gives you 287,100.
