Answer:

x + y = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x : y : z = 5 : 1 : 3, then

\frac{x}{y} = 5 ( multiply both sides by y )

x = 5y ←

and \frac{y}{z} = \frac{1}{3} ( cross- multiply )

3y = z

Substitute z = 3y into z - y = 28

3y - y = 28

2y = 28 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 14 ← ←

Substitute y = 14 into x = 5y

x = 5 × 14 = 70 ← ←

Substitute y = 14 into z - y = 28

z - 14 = 28 ( add 14 to both sides )

z = 42 ← ←

Thus x = 70, y = 14 and z = 42

Hence x + y = 70 + 14 = 84

Rasek [7]
(d(5) -d(3))/(5 -3) = (350 -126)/2 = 112 . . . . . meters/second

112 m/s; it represents the average speed of the object between 3 seconds and 5 seconds
