Answer:

The numbers are 73, 173 and 292.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the numbers are x, y and z we have:

y = 4x

z = x + 100

x + y + z = 538

Substituting for y in the last equation:

x + 4x + z = 538

5x + z = 538.............(1)

From the second equation:

z - x = 100................(2)

Equation (1) - (2) gives:

6x = 438

x = 73

Therefore y = 4x) = 4(73) = 292

and z = x + 100 = 73 + 100 = 173.

Answer:

73

292

173

Step-by-step explanation:

x = first number

4x = second number

100 + x = third number

x + 4x + 100 + x = 538

6x + 100 = 538

6x + 100 - 100 = 538 - 100

6x = 438

6x/6 = 438/6

x = 73

Check:

73 + 4(73) + 100 + 73 = 538

73 + 292 + 173 = 538

538 = 538

Sindrei [870]
We are asked to sum the two trinomials (-4f^3-5f+16)+(4f^2-f+9). We can start by using the distributive property to remove the parenthesis, giving us -4f^3-5f+16+4f^2-f+9. Next, when we combine like terms, we get \boxed{-4f^3+4f^2-6f+25}. Hope this helped!

slava [35]
There are 6 children total, 4 of which are girls. The ratio is 2:1 girls:boys, so there will need to be twice as many pinks as there are blues. If we get 12 pinks, then there will be 6 blues. That's the biggest since that's all the pinks the florist has.

Which point is in the solution set of the given system of inequalities 3x+y>-3,x+2y<4
Dima020 [189]
Step 1. Solve both inequalities for y:
3x+y\ \textgreater \ -3
y\ \textgreater \ -3x-3

x+2y\ \textless \ 4
2y\ \textless \ -x+4
y\ \textless \ - \frac{1}{2} x+2

Step 2. To check a point in the solution of the given system of inequalities, look for the intercepts of the lines -3x-3 and - \frac{1}{2} x+2:

y=-3x-3 (1)
y=- \frac{1}{2} x+2 (2)

Replace (1) in (2):
-3x-3=- \frac{1}{2} x+2
Solve for x:
\frac{5}{2} x=-5
x=-2 (3)

Replace (3) in (1):
y=-3x-3
y=-3(-2)-3
y=6-3
y=3

We can conclude that the point (-2,3) is in the solution of the system if <span>inequalities</span>; also any point inside the dark shaded area of the graph of the system of inequalities is also a solution of the system.

Answer:

  x ≈ 0.7798

Step-by-step explanation:

For this to be an exponential function, the variable needs to be in the exponent. That is, parentheses are needed.

  e^(8x) = 512

  8x = ln(512) . . . . . take the natural log

  x = ln(512)/8 ≈ 0.7798
