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

Solving equations with variables on both sides. Check answer pls

Okay so first you distribute to both sides(the arrows). then you subtract 5y to both sides and bring everything down. then you subtract 7 to both sides and get -27=9y and divide by 9 to get the y alone .

Solve the equation... 64x^3 -x=0 and x^3 +4x^2-x-4=0
zhannawk [14.2K]

 x =(-2-√-12)/8=(-1-i√ 3 )/4= -0.2500-0.4330i

x =(-2+√-12)/8=(-1+i√ 3 )/4= -0.2500+0.4330i

x = 1/2 = 0.500

In the figure below, p ||q. <br> find m 7 if m 8=116°
Serjik [45]

Answer:

m∠7 = 64°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠7 and ∠8 are supplementary meaning they add up to 180°.

m∠7 + m∠8 = 180°

m∠7 + 116° = 180°

m∠7 = 64°
