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 .

what effect does doubling the radius of a cone have on the volume of the cone if the height remains the same
Butoxors [25]
V=(1/3)hpir^2
lets say this is original, undoubled volume
so o=v=(1/3)hpir^2

so for new volume, or n, that is r to 2r, doubled radius
n=(1/3)hpi(2r)^2
n=(1/3)hpi4r^2
n=4((1/3)hpir^2)
remmember that o=(1/3)hpir^2
n=4(o)

it is 4 times the old one

Which of the following is a solution of x² + 14x + 112 = 0? If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth.
Readme [11.4K]
To determine the solution of the quadratic equation, use the quadratic formula which states that,
                                x = ((-b  +/- sqrt (b² - 4ac)) / 2a
From the equation, a = 1, b = 14, and c = 112. Substituting these to the quadratic formula,
                               x = <span>((-14  +/- sqrt (14² - 4(1)(12)) / 2(1) = indeterminate
Thus, the equation does not a real number solution. </span>

PLS ANSWER QUICK I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
NISA [10]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we are decreasing the number so it has to be a decrease.

Next, we divide 7/31 and get around 0.23, which also represents 23 percent.

This only shows that 7 is 23 percent of 31, so we need to find the decrease by seeing the difference of 100 and 23.

We get 100 - 23 = 77, and because it is a decrease we get B.
