Answer:

The numbers are 7, 4 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers =x, y, z.

The sum of all three numbers is 12, x+y+z=12--------i

The sum of twice the first number, 4 times the second number, and 5 times the third number is 35, 2x+4y+5z=35-------ii

The difference between 8 times the first number and the second number is 52, 8x-y=52---------iii

Now, from (i),z =1-x-y--------iv

substitute (iv) in (ii),

2x+4y+5(12-x-y)=35

2x+4y+60-5x-5y=35

collect like terms

-3x-y=-25

that is, 3x-y=25--------v

solving (iii) and (v) simultaneously (add iii and v), we have

11x=77

divide both sides by 11 to obtain x=7

Put x=7 in (v)

3(7)+y=25

21+y=25

implies y=25-21=4

put x=7 and y=4 in (iv)

z=12-7-4=1

Hence, the numbers are 7, 4 and 1.

What is the equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola y=-2x^2+8x-7?<br> x=.....
guapka [62]

Answer:

Equation of axis of symmetry is x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the parabola is given as;

y = -2x² + 8x - 7

The equation of the axis of symmetry is given by;

x = -b/2a

In the parabola equation given and using letters of quadratic equation, we can say that;

a = - 2

b = 8.

c = -7

Thus;

x = -b/2a = -8/(2 × - 2)

x = 8/4

x = 2

Equation of axis of symmetry is x = 2

A triangle has side lengths of 12 inches 14 inches, and 18 inches. What best represents the perimeter of the triangle in centime
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

111.76 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a triangle is given as:

Side A + Side B + Side C

Since our final answer is going to be in centimeters we have to convert the sides from inches to centimeters

Hence:

1 inch ~ 2.54 centimeters

For 12 inches

1 inch = 2.54 cm

12 inches = x

Cross Multiply

x = 12× 2.54 cm

x = 30.48 cm

For 14 inches

1 inch = 2.54 cm

14 inches = x

Cross Multiply

x = 14× 2.54 cm

x = 35.56 cm

For 18 inches

1 inch = 2.54 cm

18 inches = x

Cross Multiply

x = 18× 2.54 cm

x = 45.72 cm

Hence, the perimeter of the triangle

= 30.48 cm + 35.56 cm + 45.72 cm

= 111.76 cm
