Let x=the first number
Then x+7=second number
And 4(x+7)+2=third number (2 more than 4 times the second)
Now we are told that:
x+(x+7)+(4(x+7)+2)=85 get rid of parentheses
x+x+7+4x+28+2=85 simplify
6x+37=85 subtract 37 from each side
6x+37-37=85-37
6x=48
x=8---first number
x+7=8+7=15 second number
4(x+7)+2=4*15+2=62 third number

8+15+62=85
85=85
Solution:
1) Rewrite it in the form {a}^{2}-2ab+{b}^{2}, where a={d}^{2} and b=4
{({d}^{2})}^{2}-2({d}^{2})(4)+{4}^{2}
2) Use Square of Difference: {(a-b)}^{2}={a}^{2}-2ab+{b}^{2}
{({d}^{2}-4)}^{2}
3) Rewrite {d}^{2}-4 in the form {a}^{2}-{b}^{2} , where a=d and b=2
{({d}^{2}-{2}^{2})}^{2}
4) Use Difference of Squares: {a}^{2}-{b}^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)
{((d+2)(d-2))}^{2}
5) Use Multiplication Distributive Property: {(xy)}^{a}={x}^{a}{y}^{a}
{(d+2)}^{2}{(d-2)}^{2}
Done!
Neither inscribed in the circle, nor circumscribed about it! 2 if the sides of the triangle are TANGENT to the circle, which means just touching at one point
7/8 / 11/12. First get the reciprocal of 11/12 (which is 12/11). Then multiply by the reciprocal. 7/8 * 12/11 = 84/88
don't forget to simplify
21/22
