First number = x
second number = x-3
third number = 2x

x + x-3 + 2x = 53
4x -3 =53
4x -3+3 =53+3
4x = 56
4x/4 = 56/4
x = 14

first number = 14
second number = 14-3
second number = 11

third number = 2x
third number = 2(14)
third number = 28

14 + 11 +28 = 53
53=53

Graph. y−2=23(x+4) Use the Line Tool and select two points to graph the equation. Use the slope and the point provided in the eq
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

See attached picture.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in point slope form y - y_1 = m(x-x_1) where m is the slope and (x_1,y_1) is a point.

For the equation y-2 = 23(x+4), graph the point (-4,2). Then from this point count up 23 and over to the right 1.

This is the graph of the line.

Solve for x in each of the following quadratic equations.
Eduardwww [97]
Okay so...
x² = 5x + 24          move it, so one side equals zero.
 x² - 5x - 24 =0    factors of 24 is 3 and 8 when you subtract 8 from 3 you get -5.
(x+3)(x-8)
x+3= 0    or    x-8=0       
x= -3       or    x=8

b. 2x² - 5x + 1=0
 quadratic formula = -b +-√b²-4ac / 2a
a= 2 b= -5 c=1
-(-5) +-√(-5)² - 4(2)(1) / 2(2)

5+-√25 - 8 / 4
   =5 +- √17 / 4

x= 5/4 + √17 / 4   or    x= 5/4 - √17/4

i couldn't find the plus-minus sign that why there's (+-)
i hope this helps!   :)

Analyze The Diagram Below And Answer The Question That Follows (15x+10) (8x+1) What is the value of x A 5 B 8 C 10 D 15​
Anettt [7]

<u>Given</u>:

The measure of angle EFG is m\angle EFG=(8x+1)^{\circ}

The measure of arc GE is m\widehat{(GE})=(15+10)^{\circ}

We need to determine the value of x.

<u>Value of x:</u>

The value of x can be determined using the inscribed angle theorem.

Thus, we have;

\angle EFG=\frac{1}{2}(\widehat{GE})

Substituting the values, we have,

   8x+1=\frac{1}{2}(15x+10)

2(8x+1)=1(15x+10)

  16x+2=15x+10

     x+2=10

           x=8

Hence, the value of x is 8.

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
