Let the first number be = x

Then the second number = 2x

The third number = 2x - 5

Their sum = 55

This can be written in an equation as =

x + 2x + 2x - 5 = 55

= x + 2x + 2x = 55 + 5 ( transposing -5 from LHS to RHS changes -5 to +5 )

= x + 2x + 2x = 60

= 5x = 60

= x = 60 ÷ 5 ( transposing ×5 from LHS to RHS changes ×5 to ÷5 )

= x = 12

The first number = x = 12

The second number = 2x = 2 × 20 = 24

The third number = 2x - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19

Therefore , the three numbers are 12 , 24 and 19 .

A straight line can be drawn through all the points and the line passes through the point where x=0 and y=0. This best describes a graph of paired points that form a proportional relationship. You can tell this because the line passes directly through the origin (0,0). It also says that it is a straight line that passes through the points, so most likely the line will contain points that have a proportional relationship. Hope that helps :)

If the area of a square with side x is equal to the area of a triangle with base x, then find the altitude of the triangle.
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

h= 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Square

Side = x

Triangle

Base = x

Altitude = h

Required

Find h, if both shapes have the same area

The area of the square is:

Area = x * x

Area = x^2

The area of the triangle is:

Area = \frac{1}{2} * Base*Height

Area = \frac{1}{2} * x*h

Equate both areas

x^2 = \frac{1}{2} * x*h

Divide both sides by x

x = \frac{1}{2} *h

Multiply both sides by 2

2*x = \frac{1}{2} *h*2

2x = h

h= 2x
