B=A+5
10A+B=3(A+B)
Replace the B’s in the bottom equation with A+5s, because we know that’s the same thing from the top equation

10A+A+5=3(A+A+5)
11A+5=3(2A+5)
11A+5=6A+15
5A=10
A=2
Then B is 5 more than that so B=7
Your number is 27
**To double check**
When we double check this and see 7 is 5 more than then 2. Then 27 is three times what we get when we add the digits (2+7=9).

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio

Anton [14]

HOW TO SOLVE:

1) use x as a variable
2) the starting equation is:
  4x + 3x + 5x = 18

3) add all the like terms on the left side of the equation:
  12x = 18

4) Divide by 12 on both sides:
  x=1.5

5) Find the lengths of the sides:

- 4x = 4(1.5) = 6

- 3x = 3(1.5) = 4.5

- 5x = 5(1.5) = 7.5

SO, the lengths of the sides of this triangle are: 6, 4.5, and 7.5

A circle has a center at A (4,5), Determine the radius of the circle given two end points of the circle are B (9,5) and C (-1,5)

Anna71 [15]

ANSWER :

The center-radius form of the circle equation is in the format (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2, with the center being at the point (h, k) and the radius being "r". This form of the equation is helpful, since you can easily find the center and the radius.
