Answer:

The greatest number is 32 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

The ratio of three numbers is 4 : 3 : 1.

The sum of the numbers is 64.

Let us assume that the x be the scalar multiple of the numbers .

First number = 4x

Second number = 3x

Third number = x

Than the equation becomes

4x + 3x + x = 64

8x = 64

$x = \frac{64}{8}$

x = 8

Thus

First number = 4x

= 4 × 8

= 32

Second numbers = 3x

= 3 × 8

= 24

Third number = x

= 8

Therefore the greatest number is 32 .

Total value of ratio = 4+3+1 = 8

value of 1 unit = 64/8 = 8

numbers are 4(8), 3(8), 1(8) = 32, 24, 8

so, the greatest number is 32

Please help I with give Brainiest if correct

padilas [110]

Answer:

Perimeter of the rectangle = 6 x +20

Perimeter of the rectangle = 0 x² + 6 x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the length of the rectangle = 2x +3

Given that the width of the rectangle = x +7

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + width)

Step(ii):-

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + width)

= 2(2 x +3 + x+7)

= 4x +6+2x+14

= 6 x +20

Final answer:-

Perimeter of the rectangle = 6 x +20

Perimeter of the rectangle = o x² + 6 x + 20

What is the slope of the line through (0, 5) and (-2, -1)

Elena L [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line going through two points, (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), we can use the following formula: $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$ . Note that it doesn't really matter which points we call (x₁, y₁) or (x₂, y₂).

Let's call (x₂, y₂) = (0, 5) and (x₁, y₁) = (-2, -1). Now, we can plug in the values for x, y₁, x₂, and y₂ into the formula.

We have:

$\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }=\frac{5-(-1)}{0-(-2)} =\frac{5+1}{0+2} =\frac{6}{2} =3$

Therefore, the slope of the line is 3. Hope this helps!
