The sum of three integers is 12

Mathematics
2 answers:

Answer:

First = 5, second = 17, third = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First integer</u> = x

The third integer is 15 less than the first, so

<u>Third integer</u> = x - 15

The second integer = y

The sum of the first and second integers exceeds the third by 32, so

The sum of the first and second integers = x + y

The third integer = x - 15

x + y is 32 more than x - 15, hence

x + y - 32 = x - 15

y - 32 = -15

y = 32 - 15

y = 17

<u>The second integer</u> = 17

The sum of three integers is 12, so

x + 17 + x - 15 = 12

2x + 2 = 12

2x = 12 - 2

2x = 10

x = 5

x - 15 = 5 - 15 = -10

The three integers are 5,17 and -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x, y and z be three integers then

x+y+z=12 \ \ \Eqn\ 1

'The sum of the first and second integers exceeds the third by 32'

x+y=z+32\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 2

The third integer is 15  less than the first.

z=x-15\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 3

From Eqn 2:

x+y=z + 32\\x+y-z=32

Subtracting Eqn 1 from eqn 2

x+y-z-(x+y+z)=32-12\\x+y-z-x-y-z=20\\-2z=20

Dividing both sides by -2

\frac{-2z}{-2}=\frac{20}{-2}\\z=-10

Putting z=-10 in Eqn 3

z=x-15\\-10=x-15\\x=15-10\\x=5

Putting x=5 and z=-10 in Eqn 1

x+y+z=12\\5+y-10=12\\y-5=12\\y=12+5\\y=17\\

Hence,

The three integers are 5,17 and -10

What is the radius of a sphere if its surface area is 2,122.64 square inches? (Use 3.14 for π.) 11 in. 13 in. 121 in. 169 in.
crimeas [40]
To solve this, we are going to use the surface are of a sphere formula: A=4 \pi r^2
where
A is the surface area of the sphere 
r is the radius of the sphere 

We know for our problem that A=2122.64 and \pi =3.14, so lets replace those vales in our formula:
A=4 \pi r^2
2122.64=4(3.14)r^2
2122.64=12.56r^2
Now, we just need to solve our equation for r:
\frac{2122.64}{12.56} =r^2
r^2=\frac{2122.64}{12.56}
r^2=169
r=+or- \sqrt{169}
r=13 or r=13
Since the radius of a sphere cannot be a negative number, r=13.

We can conclude that the radius of a sphere with surface area <span>2,122.64 </span>in^2 is 13 in.
