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:

51

Step-by-step explanation:

11+(-7)^2-9 - original

11+49-9 - square the -7, since its in brackets the negative applies too and a negative x a negative = positive, so it ends up as 7x7+49

60-9 - add both positives 11+49=60

51 - subtract 9 from 60, 60-9=51

Which statement is NOT true about the ratio of the leg lengths of increment ΔLRM and increment ΔJSK?
Alona [7]
Given the similar triangles, it can always be noted that similarity can be derived from the proportionality of the leg lengths, however it is not true the the ratio of the proportion of the leg lengths is equal to the slope of the triangles. Thus the false statement is:
A]  <span>The slope of the hypotenuse is represented by the ratio of the leg lengths.</span>

Help plz I really need to pass
Tresset [83]

Answer:

2.56

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation they dive u: d = 16t^2, so in the question they said what's the distance, d, if t = 0.4

So you just have to replace t with 0.4:

d = 16t^2

d = 16(0.4)^2

d = 16(0.16)

d = 2.56
