We can write this in math as x+y+z=104, x=y-6, and z=3y

Because we already know what x and z are in terms of y, we can substitute our values for x and z into the first equation. This now looks like (y-6) + y + (3y) = 104. Now we can simplify our equation to find our value for y.

y-6 + y + 3y = 104 simplifies to 5y - 6 = 104, then 5y=110, and finally y=22.

Now that we know our value for y we can find our values for x and z by substituting our value for y into the other two equations.

The second equation x = y-6 can be simplified as x = 22 - 6 and further simplified as x = 16.

The third equation z = 3y can be written as z = 3(22) or z = 66.

Our three numbers are 16, 22, and 66. Hope this helps you!

Answer:

b is not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

To be a function there must be a one to one correspondence.

Each x must only go to one y

b has an x that goes to two different y's

1 goes to 5 and 13.  That makes it a relation not a function

Da<br> A<br> Solve the equation 2x^2+3=0
Anika [276]

Answer:

x = ±i(√6 / 2)

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Equality Properties

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Solving quadratics

<u>Algebra II</u>

Imaginary root i

  • √-1 = i

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

2x² + 3 = 0

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 3 on both sides:                        2x² = -3
  2. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides:                                  x² = -3/2
  3. [Equality Property] Square root both sides:                                                    x = ±√(-3/2)
  4. Simplify:                                                                                                             x = ±i(√6 / 2)
