The three numbers are 2, 7 and x.

Ther sum is
 2 + 7 + x = 9 + x

 Because the arithmetic mean is 12, therefore
(9 + x)/3 = 12
9 + x = 12*3 = 36
x = 36 - 9 = 27

Answer:  x = 27

How do I solve this using substitution? Please write down the steps too.<br> 6x+5y=-16<br> y=7x+5
nika2105 [10]

Answer: x = -1 and y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given two expressions that have a relationship. There are two ways to solve this problem, but I will be going over the easy way. I'm assuming you know how to solve for one variable such as x? Well we can put the y varaible from the first equation in terms of x, from the second equation. Ill show you what I mean:

6x + 5(7x + 5) = -16

I replaced y in the first one in terms of x, so that we can solve just for x.

6x + 35x + 25 = -16

41x +25 = -16

41x = -41

x = -1

Now simply find y by plugging the now known x value into either equation

y = 7(-1) + 5

y = -2
