The difference of two numbers is nine if the larger number is one more than twice the smaller number find a larger number

There were thirteen friends playing a video game online when six players quit.If each player left had eight lives how many lives

Lorico [155]

They had 56 lives in total

Explanation: if there were thirteen friends to begin with and six quit that would leave them with 7 friends. If those seven remaining friends each had 8 lives, you multiply those 7 friends by 8 lives which would get 56.

If all thirteen friends were still in the game then they would have 104 lives all together.

A certain triangle has a perimeter of 3084 mi. The shortest side measures 76 mi less than the middle side, and the longest side

kari74 [83]

shortest side: 851

middle side:927

longest side : 1306

Explanation

Step 1

Let

x represents the shortest side

y represents the middle side

z represents the longest side

so, set the equations

a) the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the sides, so

$\begin{gathered} \text{Perimeter= side1+side2+side3} \\ replace \\ 3084=x+y+z \\ x+y+z=3084\Rightarrow\text{ Equation(1)} \end{gathered}$

b) The shortest side measures 76 mi less than the middle side( in other words, you have to subtract 76 from middle side to get the shortest side)

$x=y-76\Rightarrow equation(2)$

c) and the longest side measures 379 mi more than the middle side,( in other words, you have to add 379 to middle side to obtain the longest side)

$z=y+379\Rightarrow equation(3)$

Step 2

solve the equations

a) now, replace the x an z value sfrom equation (2) and (3) into equation(1)

$\begin{gathered} x+y+z=3084\Rightarrow\text{ Equation(1)} \\ (y-76)+y+(y+379)=3084 \\ -76+3y+379=3084 \\ 303+3y=3084 \\ 3y=3084-303 \\ \\ 3y=2781 \\ \text{divide both sides by 3} \\ \frac{3y}{3}=\frac{2781}{3} \\ y=927 \end{gathered}$

now, replace the y value in equatino (2) to find x

b)

$\begin{gathered} x=y-76\Rightarrow equation(2) \\ x=927-76 \\ x=851 \end{gathered}$

c) finally, prelace x and y value in equation (1) to find z

$\begin{gathered} x+y+z=3084\Rightarrow\text{ Equation(1)} \\ 851+927+z=3084 \\ \text{add like terms} \\ 1778+z=3084 \\ \text{subtract 1778 in both sides} \\ 1778+z-1778=3084-1778 \\ z=1306 \end{gathered}$

so

shortest side: 851

middle side:927

longest side : 1306

Write the number that matches the clues

almond37 [142]

290.

We know that the hundreds is two already.
The tens digit is 9 more than the ones digit, but since a digit can't be more than 9, the ones must be 0.

So the tens is 9 and the ones place is 0. Hopes this helps :)
