Here are the steps to the answer. Answer: y=x+2
I believe that is gonna be the 225 package.
Thats the lowest number that both 25 and 9 go into
Let the first number be = x
Then the second number = 2x
The third number = 2x - 5
Their sum = 55
This can be written in an equation as =
x + 2x + 2x - 5 = 55
= x + 2x + 2x = 55 + 5 ( transposing -5 from LHS to RHS changes -5 to +5 )
= x + 2x + 2x = 60
= 5x = 60
= x = 60 ÷ 5 ( transposing ×5 from LHS to RHS changes ×5 to ÷5 )
= x = 12
The first number = x = 12
The second number = 2x = 2 × 20 = 24
The third number = 2x - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19
Therefore , the three numbers are 12 , 24 and 19 .
Hey!
To solve x in this equation we must first add five to both sides to get

on its own.
<em>Original Equation :</em>

<em>New Equation {Added 5 to Both Sides} :</em>

Now we must square both sides of the equation.
<em>Old Equation :</em>

<em>New Equation {Changed by Squaring Both Sides} :</em>

And now we must solve the new equation.
Step 1 - Switch sides

Step 2 - Subtract x from both sides

Step 3 - Simplify

Now we need to solve the rest of the equation using the quadratic formula.






9

4
<em>So, this means that in the equation

,</em>
x = 9 <em>and </em>
x = 4.Hope this helps!
