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

Simplify: 3x(x^2 + 4x - 5)
Alina [70]

Answer:

3x^3+ 12x^2-15x

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would have to distribute the 3x to everything in the parentheses. So you can write it out as (3x*x^2)+(3x*4x)+(3x*5). Solving this will give you the answer. We'll start off with (3x*x^2). Because we are MULTIPLYING, this part will equal to 3x^3. There is ONE x with 3x (think of it as 3x^1) and 2 x's in x^2, having a total of 3 x's, or x^3. Since the 3 is being multiplied as well, we can write it as 3x^3.

Second, we will solve (3x*4x). We are multiplying, so first we multiply 3*4 and then x*x. 3*4 is 12 and x*x is x^2.  There are 2 x's being mutipled by each other, so the x becomes squared. Now we finish and multiply 12*x^2 wich is 12x^2.

Lastly, we solve (3x*5). 3x is being multiplied 5 times which gives us 15x.

I hope this helped :)

QRST is a parallelogram. Find x and y.
Wewaii [24]

In parallelograms, opposite sides are congruent, meaning that they are the same lengths. So, we have:

y - 4x = 9

-x + 4 = y

Add x to both sides of the second equation:

y + x = 4

y - 4x = 9

This is a system of linear equations. Solve by eliminating the y and subtracting the two equations:

5x = -5

x = -1

Use x to solve for y:

y + (-1) = 4

y = 5

So, x = -1 and y = 5.

X+y=0.5<br> x-y=1<br> elimination meathod
user100 [1]

Answer:

x=0.75, y=-0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can add the two equations to eliminate y and solve for x.

x+y+x-y=0.5+1

2x=1.5

x=0.75

Now, we can find for y by using substitution:

x+y=0.5 (given)

0.75+y=0.5

y=-0.25

Hope this helps :)
