Answer:

3, 15 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

Second number is 5 times the first number = 5x

Third number is twice the second number = 2×5x = 10x

The equation becomes;

x + 5x + 10x = 48

16x = 48

x = 48 ÷ 16

x = 3

Therefore the three numbers are x = 3,  5x = 15 and 10x = 30

Answer:

3,15 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be A , B and C.

The sum of the three positive numbers are 48

That’s

A + B + C = 48

The second number is 5 times the first

That’s

B = 5A

The third number is twice the second

That’s

C = 2 x 5A = 10A

We now have

A + B + C = 49

B = 5A

C = 10A

Now substitute 5A for B and 10A for C into the first equation

We have

A + B + C = 48

A + 5A + 10A = 48

16A = 48

Divide both sides by 16 to get A

16A/16 = 48/16

A = 3

Recall

B = 5A

So

B = 5 x 3

B = 15

Also,

C = 10A

Therefore

C = 10 x 3

C = 30

The numbers are 3,15 and 30

Tju [1.3M]

Answer: 60 devil offspring.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of devils in the Island is 80.

Out of this 80, 75% are offspring from the two previous breeding seasons.

This percentage in a whole number is what the question requires.

The number of offspring from previous seasons is:

= Percent of offspring from previous seasons * Total number of devils

= 75% * 80

= 60 devil offspring.

Mathematical Statement Justification
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given mathematical statement

4x+3=x+5-2x

So,

\begin{array}{cc}4x+3=x+5-2x&\text{ Given}\end{array}

2. Rewrite it as

4x+3=x-2x+5

So,

\begin{array}{cc}4x+3=x-2x+5&\text{ Commutative property of addition}\end{array}

3. Combine like terms x and -2x:

4x+3=-x+5

So,

\begin{array}{cc}4x+3=-x+5&\text{ Combine like terms}\end{array}

4. Add x to both sides:

4x+3+x=-x+5+x\\ \\5x+3=5

So,

\begin{array}{cc}5x+3=5&\text{ Addition property of equality}\end{array}

5. Subtract 3 from both sides:

5x+3-3=5-3\\ \\5x=2

So,

\begin{array}{cc}5x=2&\text{ Subtraction property of equality}\end{array}

6. Divide both sides by 5:

x=\dfrac{2}{5}

So,

\begin{array}{cc}x=\dfrac{2}{5}&\text{ Division property of equality}\end{array}
