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

VashaNatasha [74]
One thing wrong is there is not closing parenthasees after x+1
and also, if you multiply it out, the answer is not 8x^2-8x-16 so the factored form given is worng

the real factored out form is 8(x-2)(x+1)
that person forgot the 8 in the front

I think it would be easy to find it because its 30 feet away and even if he didn't know his feet he could always leave rocks/pebbles to the treasure so he won't lose it.

Which order pair lies on the line 2x-y= -5
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Let's solve for x.

2x−y=−5

Step 1: Add y to both sides.

2x−y+y=−5+y

2x=y−5

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2=y-5/2

Answer:

x=1/2y+-5/2
