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.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(f o g)(x) = f(g(x))\\f(x) = 2x - 1\\g(x) = 3x + 10\\f(g(x)) = 2(3x+10) - 1\\f(g(x)) = 6x + 20 - 1\\f(g(x)) = 6x + 19

sesenic [268]

Answer:  The percentage of parents who use cloth diapers in the sample is the statistic.

Step-by-step explanation:

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

ANSWER


C. 58°


EXPLANATION


The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.


We sum all the three angles to obtain,


8x+(14x+2)+(10x+50)=180.


We group like terms to get,



8x+14x+10x+2+50=180.


Simplify,



32x+52=180.


Combine like terms to get,


32x=180-52.


Simplify,


32x=128.



Divide both sides by 32 to get,



x=4.


We substitute the value of x into the expression for



m\:.


This implies that,


m\:.



m\:.



m\:.



The correct answer is C
