Answer:

1st number = 36

Second = 16

Third = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 numbers

Let's call the second number g

Then the first would be , 2x g = 2g

Then the third would be twice the first = 2 x 2g = 4g

We add up all numbers and equate it to 112

2g + g +4g = 112

7g = 112

g = 112/7

g = 16

First number = 2g = 2x16 = 32

Second number = g = 16

Third number = 4g = 4x16 = 64

Therefore the numbers are 32, 16, 64.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 32 y = 16 z = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the 1st number

y is the 2nd number

z is the 3rd number

The first number is twice the second number so

x = 2 y

The third number is twice the first number.

z = 2 x

Their sum is 112

x + y + z = 112

Plus in what we know:

x + y + z = 112

2 y + y + 2x = 112

3y + 2x = 112 Let's solve for y and subtract 2x from each side

3y = 112 - 2x  Divide both sides by 3

y = \frac{112 - 2x}{3}

Now plug our answer back in to solve for x.

x = 2y

x = 2 ( \frac{112 - 2x}{3} )

x = (224 - 4x) / 3    Multiply each side by 3.

3x = 224 - 4x         Add 4x to each side

3x + 4x = 224

7x = 224              Divide each side by 7

7x / 7 = 224 / 7

x = 32

Now we can solve for z.

z = 2x

z = 2 ( 32 )

z = 64

Now we can solve for the numerical value of y.

x + y + z = 112

32 + y + 64 = 112

96 + y = 112       Subtract 96 from each side.

y = 112 - 96

y = 16

Describe how you could draw a diagram for a problem about finding the total length for two strings, 15 inches long and 7 inches
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Two strings are 15 inches and 7 inches long.

You could draw a diagram that has two rulers (that are longer than 12 inches).

Draw a piece of string that is exactly 15 inches on one ruler.
Draw another piece of string on the other ruler at exactly 7 inches.

Then you can find the total length of the two strings by adding 15 and 7 inches.
15 + 7 = 22

The total length of both the strings is 22 inches. You can draw a ruler and a piece of string on it at 22 inches.

50 POINTS!! Pleasee helppppp!!! A scientific journal recently reported that there are currently 2400 black rhinos in the world t
Harman [31]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we started out with 2,400 black rhinos.

And we know that they are declining at a rate of 10% per year.

In other words, each subsequent year will only have <em>90%</em> of the previous year's rhinos.

Therefore, our function is:

f(x)=2400(.9)^x

We can do some elimination first.

First, the starting point or y-intercept <em>must </em>be 2400 since that's the number of rhinos we started out with.

Therefore, we can eliminate A and D.

From the remaining choices B or C, we can technically also eliminate B. This is because from our function, we know it's exponential decay, and exponential decay is <em>not</em> a straight line.

However, to double check, let's check the population after 10 years using our function. So:

f(10)=2400(.9)^{10}

Use a calculator:

f(10)\approx837

So, after 10 years, the population should be around 840.

B is definitely <em>not</em> 840 (at x=10). However, C is right around it.

Therefore, we can conclude that C is the right answer.

And we're done!

In a certain​ chemical, the ratio of zinc to copper is 3 to 17. A jar of the chemical contains 799 grams of copper. How many gra
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

let's see what to do buddy...

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{zinc}{copper} =  \frac{3}{17} \\  \\  \frac{zinc}{799} =  \frac{3}{17}

Multiply the sides of the equation by 799

zinc =  \frac{3}{17} \times 799 \\ \\ zinc =  \frac{3}{17} \times 17 \times 47 \\ \\  zinc = 3 \times 47 = 141

So A jar of the chemical contains 141 grams of <em><u>zinc</u></em>.

And we're done.

Thanks for watching buddy good luck.
