First I would change the descriptions of the numbers into expressions.

first number is n
second number is n + 6
third number is 4n (4 x n)

Then you would insert these expressions into an equation and isolate n.

n + n + 6 + 4n = 144
n + n + 4n = 144 - 6
6n = 138
n = 138/6
n = 23

Lastly, you would plug in this value into all of the expressions.

first number is 23
second number is 23 + 6 = 29
third number is 4(23) = 92

Therefore, the numbers are 23, 29, and 92.

Simplify.<br> (-3.9) + (6.01) - (-7.423)<br> -5.513.<br> 2.487.<br> 9.533.
lianna [129]
First, since we must follow PEMDAS, we need to do the operation that is first, which is addition. 

-3.9 + 6.01  ← Adding a negative means subtracting, then giving the sign of the bigger number.

So now we solved those and we got this answer: 2.11

Now, we need to subtract and re-write the expression.

2.11 - (-7.423) = 2.11 + 7.423= 9.533

Ok....so now we have our final answer, and we have the choices above.

The only answer that matches ours is the last one.

Final answer: 9.533

Hope I helped ^_^

A sandbag is released from a hot air balloon that is 400ft above the ground. Using the falling object model, h = –16t2 + s, wher
Aleonysh [2.5K]

<u>Answer</u>:

It takes 5 seconds for the sandbag to hit the ground

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given:

Height at which the sand bag is released from the hot air balloon= -400 f t

To find:

Time taken for the sandbag to hit the ground, t =?  

Solution:

The initial height =s

Initially the height will be 0

Hences=0

the falling object model equation  

h=-16 t^{2}+s

Substituting the values we get,

h=-16 t^{2}+s

400=16 t^{2}

t^{2}=\frac{400}{16}

t^{2}=25

t=\sqrt{25}

t=5 \text { seconds }

Result:

Thus it takes 5 seconds for the sandbag to hit the ground
