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.

On average, a gym claims that 85% of its members renew their memberships every year. If the gym has 400 members, predict how man
lana [24]

Answer:

340 people would renew their membership if the gym had 400 members

The gym's claim is not accurate, because the prediction should be 340 people instead of 330

Step-by-step explanation:

With 400 members, we can predict how many will renew their membership by multiplying 400 by 0.85:

400(0.85)

= 340

So, this would predict that 340 people would renew their membership.

The gym's claim that 330 members would renew their memberships is not accurate, because the correct prediction should be 340 people.

Arrange the pairs of points in increasing order of the slopes of the lines joining them. (15, 30) and (20, 40)
gavmur [86]

Answer: m1 = 0.5

M2= 0.375

M3 = 2.25

M4 = 3.0

M5 = 13.5

M6 = 0.285

M7 = 7.0

Step-by-step explanation:

(20,40)-(15,30)=(5,10), m1=5/10=0.5

(18,48)-(12,32)=(6,16), m2=3/8=0.375

(72,32)-(27,12)=(45,20), m3=9/4=2.25

(60,20)-(45,15)=(15,5), m4=3.0

(243,18)-(27,2)=(216,16), m5=27/2=13.5

(24,84)-(18,63)=(6,21), m6=2/7=0.285...

(84,12)-(63,9)=(21,3), m7=7.0
