Your answer would be 3160.
The answer is D. It does not satisfy the second equation because 0 is not greater than 1.
Let the 1st number be x; 2nd number be y; 3rd number be z.
x + y + z = 79
x = number we are looking for.
y = x * 5 ==> 5 times the first
z = x + 16 ==> 16 more than the first
Therefor,
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
1st step, multiply the 2nd number: x * 5 = 5x
x + 5x + x + 16 = 79
Add all like numbers:
7x + 16 = 79
To get x, transfer 16 to the other side and change its sign from positive to negative.
7x = 79 - 16
7x = 63
To get x, divide both sides by 7
7x/7 = 63/7
x = 9
To check. Substitute x by 9.
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
9 + (9 * 5) + (9 + 16) = 79
9 + 45 + 25 = 79
79 = 79 equal. value of x is correct.
Answer:
in the theory of chances, it states that no matter what the average, chance can change it no matter what. Like someone getting good chances in a video game 2 times in a row. its rare, but compared to how many people play the game and how often, it was bound to happen at some point. the chances could be tiny, but it could still happen. just like if 100 monkeys were on typewriters typing 60 wpm, one would eventually type Abraham Lincoln. low chance, but if all these monkeys are doing it enough, it would happen eventually. so, it is entirely possible that 2/3 of his next predictions will be correct.
