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.

100 points gor correct answer Identify the base of a triangle in which h=(3x+15) ft and A=(15x+75) ft^2.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

b = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} bh ( b is the base and h the height )

Here h = 3x + 15 and A = 15x + 75, thus

\frac{1}{2} × b × (3x + 15) = 15x + 75

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

b(3x + 15) = 30x + 150

Divide both sides by (3x + 15)

b = \frac{30x+150}{3x+15} ← factor numerator and denominator

  = \frac{30(x + 5)}{3(x+5)} ← cancel the factor (x + 5) on numerator/denominator

  = \frac{30}{3}

  = 10

4b - 2 =6<br> Show step by step how to solve and check (giving 10 points)
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  4b - 8  =   4 • (b - 2)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Equations which are never true :

2.1      Solve :    4   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.2      Solve  :    b-2 = 0

Add  2  to both sides of the equation :

                     b = 2

One solution was found :

                  b = 2
