<span>x is the first number
y is the second number
z is the third number 
Given
x + y + z = 6 (</span><span>The sum of three numbers is 6)
</span>z = x + y (<span>the third number is the sum of the first and second numbers)
</span><span>x = z + 1  (</span><span>the first number is one more than the third number)
</span><span>
x + y + z=6
z + z  = 6 (because z = x + y)
2 z = 6

Divide both sides by 2 then
z = 3

Replace z = 2 into </span>x = z+1 to find x
x = 3 + 1
x = 4

Replace x = 4 , z = 3 into z = x + y to find y 
3 = 4 + y

Subtract 4 to both sides
3 - 4 = 4 + y -4

Simplify
-1 = y or y = -1

Answer x = 4, y = -1, z = 3 

Proof:
     x + y + z = 6 (The sum of three numbers is 6)
4 + (-1) + 3  = 6
                6  = 6

 z = x + y (the third number is the sum of the first and second numbers)
 3 = 4 + (-1)
 3 = 3

 x = z + 1  (the first number is one more than the third number)
 4 = 3 + 1
4  = 4

Your numbers would be 1, 2, and 3.

1+2=3 

1+2+3=6

John di Silvestre obtained a loan to buy a cello for $8,400. He pays 12% exact interest on the loan for 146 days. What is the am
Svetradugi [14.3K]
<span>Normally when they tell you interest rate they say per annum meaning the percent interest rate for a year.

But in this problem they seem to say John pays 12% for a 146 day loan.

So interest = P * r / 100 = 8400 * 12/100 = $1,008.00
Maturity value = Principal + Interest = 8400 + 1008 = $9,408.00</span>

PLEASE HELP!! Anyone??

Replace P with 15:

d = -3(15)^2 + 168(15) - 315

d = -3(225) + 2520 - 315

d = -675 + 2520 -315

d = 1530

This will be solved by solving for x first. Firstly you multiply the top equation by 2 and the bottom by -3. This will change both equation to (top)-10x+6y=-54 and (bottom) 27x-6y=-57. Now when you add the factors the y-values cancel out leaving you with; 17x=-3. now you have to divide by 17 on both sides giving you x=-0.17647058823 (not the prettiest solution but you can round if you want to). After that pick an equation to solve for y (I'm picking the top); the equation will be 5(-0.17647058823)+3y=-27. multiply the negative decimal and 5 to get -0.88235294117 (again not the prettiest). Add that to both sides which will give you 3y=-26.1176470588. After this divide both sides by 3 which will give you y=-8.70588235294. Your answer is (-0.17647058823,-8.70588235294) You can divide to the second or third decimal if needed-----remember that as you round from left to right on a decimal if it's below five you leave it and if it's above 5 then round up 1. I hope this help :)

Assume that y varies inversely with x. if y = 16 when x = 1/2, find y when x=32​
MissTica

y varies inversely with x.

Example:

If we multiply x by 2 we need to divide y by 2 too.

So,

If y = 16 and x = 1/2, find y when x = 32

Lets see, from 1/2 to 32 e need to multiply 1/2 by 64, right? So let's divide 16 by 64.

16/64 = 8/32 = 4/16 = 2/8 = 1/4

So we can say that:

If y = 16 when x = 1/2, y = 1/4 when x = 32.
