Let x represent the first number, y represent the second, and z represent the third.

x + y + z = 92
z = 3x
x = y - 7

Solve x = y - 7 for y.
x = y - 7
x + 7 = y

Fill in y and z so that we only have to worry about x for now.

x + y + z = 92
x + (x + 7) + (3x) = 92
x + x + 7 + 3x = 92
5x + 7 = 92
5x = 92 - 7
5x = 85
x = 85/5
x = 17

Solve for y. 
y = x + 7
y = (17) + 7
y = 24

Solve for z.
z = 3x
z = 3(17)
z = 51

So x = 17, y = 24, and z = 51.

Answer:

1/5^9

Step-by-step explanation:

You keep the 5 the same

Then you subtract the exponents...

-6 - 3 = -9

Since it’s negative and you can’t have a negative exponent you have to put a 1 as the numerator. So...

1/5^9

How can I divide thirty-three into two groups so the ratio is four to seven?
lana [24]
Look at it this way:

-- Since the two groups have the ratio of 4 to 7, then the first group has 4 parts
and the other group has 7 parts.

-- If the first group has 4 parts and the other group has 7 parts, then they have
11 parts all together.

-- Those 11 parts are all parts of 33.  There must be  ( 33 / 11 ) = 3 items in each part.

Now you can go back to the groups . . .

-- The first group has 4 parts. 
With 3 items in each part, that's (4 x 3) = 12 items.

-- The other group has 7 parts.
With 3 items in each part, that's (7 x 3) = 21 items.
