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?


x = 6x - 8
69 = 6x - 8
69 = 7x - 8

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

Compete the square to determine minum or maxuim value of function define by -x2+10x+5
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

maximum value y = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- x² + 10x + 5

To complete the square the coefficient of the x² term must be 1

factor out - 1

= - (x² - 10x) + 5

To complete the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 10x

= - (x² + 2(- 5)x + 25 - 25) + 5

= - (x - 5)² + 25 + 5

= - (x - 5)² + 30 ← in vertex form

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Hence vertex = (5, 30)

The max/ min occurs at the vertex

Since a < 0 then vertex is a maximum

Hence maximum value is y = 30

What is the slope and y-Intercept of the equation 3(y – 2) + 6(x + 1) - 2 = 0?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

  • A. Slope = -2, y-intercept = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Convert the given equation into slope-intercept form:</u>

  • 3(y - 2) + 6(x + 1) - 2 = 0
  • 3y - 6 + 6x + 6 - 2 = 0
  • 3y + 6x - 2 = 0
  • 3y = - 6x + 2
  • y = - 2x + 2/3

The slope is -2, the y-intercept is 2/3

Correct choice is A
