Three numbers are chosen at random.

1 answer:

7 0

So we have x,y,z
smallerst=x
middle=y
z=largest

so
middle is 4 more than smallest
y=4+x

largest is 2 time smallest
z=2x

sum (addition ) of the three is 54
x+y+z=54

so subsitute
z=2x
y=x+4
x=x

therefor
x+y+z=54
x+x+4+2x=54
add like terms
4x+4=54
subtract 4
4x=50
divide both sides by 4
x=25/2=12.5

the smallest number is 12.5

Which equation represents a line that is parallel to y=-4x+3 and that passes through the point (-1, 2)?

belka [17]

A parallel line will have the same slope, which is -4. So the answer so far cannot be A or B.
Put x=-1 in each of C and D and we get y=2 for C and y=1 for D. Since the point is (-1,2) the answer is C.

Answer:

y = 55x
y = 46x +45

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The regular cost is 55 per person. Using the given variable definitions, that cost can be expressed as ...

y = 55x

B. The party special cost is 46 per person, with an added fee of 45. That cost can be expressed as ...

y = 46x +45

_____

As you know, the cost of a purchase is the product of the cost of an item and the number of items. Here, the cost of entry is the cost of the item of interest, and the number of persons needing entry is the number of items. The party special has the addition item of a private room, so its cost is added to the total for the party special.

Answer:

(3w + 7)² or (3w + 7)(3w + 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Identity

a² + 2ab + b² = (a + b)² = (a + b)(a + b)

Solving

9w² + 42w + 49
(3w)² + 2(3w)(7) + (7)²
(3w + 7)² or (3w + 7)(3w + 7)
