The sum of three numbers is 69. If the second number is equal to the first diminished by 8, and the third number is 5 times the

first. What are the numbers?
If x represents the first number, then which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem?

We let x as the first number
y the second number
z is the third number

x +  y + z = 69
y = x -8
z = 5x

We substitute the equations,
<span>x + x-8 + 5x = 69
</span>7x - 8 = 69 The answer for the second question.

x = 11
y = 3
z = 55

X = first number
x - 8 = 2nd number
5x = 3rd number

x + x - 8 + 5x = 69
7x - 8 = 69 <=== this is the equation u would use

7x - 8 = 69
7x = 69 + 8
7x = 77
x = 11

1st number = 11
2nd number : x - 8 = 11 - 8 = 3
3rd number : 5x = 5(11) = 55

In the expression below, a is an integer. 12^3+ax-20 if 3x+4 is a factor of the expession above, what is the value of a
SVEN [57.7K]

Our function is:

f(x)=12^3+ax-20

Now, if 3x+4 is a factor of f(x) then x=\frac{-4}{3} must satisfy the equation:

So, f(\frac{-4}{3} )=0

Putting x=\frac{-4}{3}

We get,

f(\frac{-4}{3} )=12^3+a(\frac{-4}{3} )-20=0

12^3+\frac{-4}{3} a-20=0

\frac{-4}{3} a=20-12^3=20-1708

a=-1708 \times \frac{-3}{4} =1281

So, the value of 'a' for the given expression is 1281.

Answer:

P(t)= 100t + 150

Step-by-step explanation:

If the price for 6 hours of studio time is 600 dollars, that means every hour the studio is used it costs 100 dollars. Since the fixed fee is 150 dollars, that is added to the cost of how many hours the studio is used.

I hope this helped you. If it did Brainilest is appreciated.
