Answer:

Numbers are 1050, 1200, 2550, 5100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the four numbers are a, b, c, d.

Since second exceeds the first by 1/7 of the first.

b = a + (a/7) = 8a/7

Third exceeds the sum of first two by 200.

c = a + b + 300 = a + (8a/7) + 300 = (15a/7) + 300

Fourth exceeds the sum of the first three by 300

d = a + b + c + 300 = a + (8a/7) + (15a/7) + 300 + 300 = a + (23a/7) + 600

d = (30a/7)+600

And sum of four numbers is 9900

a + b + c + d = 9900--------(1)

By putting the values of b, c, d in the equation (1)

a + (8a/7) + (15a/7) + 300 + (30a/7) + 600 = 9900

a + (8a/7) + (15a/7) + (30a/7) = 9900 - 300 - 600 = 9000

a + [(8a + 15a + 30a)/7] = 9000

a + (53a/7) = 9000

60a/7 = 9000

a = 9000×7/60 = 1050

Now we put the values of a and get the numbers

b = 8a/7 = 8×1050/7 = 8×150 = 1200

c = (15a/7) + 300 = (15×1050)/7 + 300 = 15×150 + 300 = 2250 + 300 = 2550

and finally from equation 1

1050 + 1200 + 2550 + d = 9900

d + 4800 = 9900

d = 9900 - 4800 = 5100

Therefore the numbers are 1050, 1200, 2550 & 5100.

Answer:

1050, 1200, 2550 and  5100.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first number is x then the second is  x + 1/7x.

The third =  x + x + 1/7x + 300 and the fourth = x + x + 1/7x + x + x + 1/7x+ 300 + 300.

So our equation is:-

8x +  4 * 1/7x  + 900 = 9900

60/7 = 9000

60x = 7*9000

x = 1050.

Therefore the 4 numbers are 1050,  *1/7*1050 = 1200, 2550 and  5100.

-6x-7=3x+11 how to solve this problem
Shalnov [3]
You have to get the x to one side so you'll subtract 3x from -6x and 3x from 3x, the 3x will cancel out and -6x - 3x is -9x-7=11, you have to add 7 from both sides the 7+7 cancels out  and also add 11+7 which leaves -9x=18, you have to divide -9x/-9 and do 18/-9, which gets you x=-2. Here's the work shown if you didn't what i said...
-6x-7=3x+11
-3x    -3x
-9x-7=11
    +7  +7
-9x=18
-9   -9
x=-2

270 is 90% of what number?
kakasveta [241]
90\% \ of \ x =270 \\\\ \frac{90}{100}*x=270 \\\\ \frac{9}{10}=\frac{270}{x} \\\\ x=\frac{10*270}{9} \\\\ x=10*30 \\\\ \boxed{x=300}

A bag contains purple marbles and red marbles, 34 in total. The number of purple marbles is 2 more than 3 times the number of re
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

There are 26 purple marbles in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you have to make an expression in terms of x where x represent red marbles. Given that the question says purple marbles is 2 more than 3 times the number of red marbles. So the expression is :

Let red marbles = x,

purple = 2 + 3x

red = x

Next, given that the total marbles in the bag is 34 so you have to add both marbles together and solve the value of x :

2 + 3x + x = 34

4x = 32

x = 32 \div 4

x = 8

Lastly, you have to substitute the value of x into the expression of purple marbles :

Let x = 8,

purpe = 2 + 3(8)

purple = 26

Which list of ordered pairs represents solutions to x + y = 2 ?
Sloan [31]
(-4, 6), (0, 2), (4, -2) are all ordered pairs that have the sum as 2.
-4+6 is the same thing as 6-4 if there's more positive than negative 
0+2=2 because 0 plus a number equals to that number
4-2=2 because you're adding a negative number with the positive number together to get the answer

Just be aware that I might not make any sense at all
