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.

Step-by-step explanation:

first solve for h

fh(4)=f(\frac{4+3}{3} )=f(\frac{7}{3} )

f(\frac{7}{3} )=-3(\frac{7}{3} )-1=-7-1=-8

so fh(4)=-8

Help! It says that I need to determine If both equations represent lines which are parallel, perpendicular, or none...
12345 [234]
    4x + 2y = 8     (1)
    8x + 4y = -4y  (2)

A) Two lines are parallel if they have the same gradient
       - putting both equations into the gradient- intercept form ( y = mx + c                where m is the gradient)
            (1) 4x + 2y = 8
                          2y = 8 - 4x
                            y = -2x + 4
             
            (2) 8x + 4y = -4y
      <span>                    </span>8x = -4y - 4y
                            y = \frac{-8x}{-8}
                            y = -x
   <span>Thus the gradient of the two equations are different and as such          the two lines are not parallel
</span>
B)  When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their gradient is -1
                   m_{1} * m_{2} = p
                                             p = (-2) * (-1)
                                             p =  2
<span>          ∴ the two lines are not perpendicular either.</span>

Thus these lines are SKEWED LINES
