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

What is 2x-3y=-1 <br> y=x-1
Vika [28.1K]
If you're looking for the solution to the system of equations, here's how we solve using substitution
We know that y = x - 1, so we can plug that into the first equation giving
2x - 3(x-1) = -1
Now distribute the 3 giving 2x - 3x + 3 = -1. After combining like terms we get -x + 3 = -1. Now subtract 3 from both sides, -x = -4, and multiply both sides by -1 to make x positive. x = 4
Now we can plug that into the second equation to get y
y = x - 1, and we know that x = 4, so y = 4 - 1, y = 3. The solution is (4, 3)
