Let's call the three numbers x, y, and z. 


The numbers are 3, 12, and 5.
x + y + z = 20
y = 4x
x + z = 8
We can rewrite the first equation because y is 4x, so 
x + 4x + z = 20
5x + z = 20
And now we can use simultaneous equation rules to solve

5x + z = 20
x + z = 8

5x + z = 20
5x + 5z = 40
(subtract)
-4z + -20
÷ -4
z = 5

x + z = 8
x + 5 = 8
x = 3

y = 4x
y = 4 × 3
y = 12

I hope this helps!

Does 2 1/3-1 3/4 need require renaming
ANEK [815]

Answer:

\frac{7}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

2 \frac{1}{3}  - 1 \frac{3}{4}

The fractions above are known as mixed numbers (that is, fractions that contain the combination of a whole number and proper fraction). The mixed numbers can equally be renamed as improper fractions. However, renaming can only occur the the mixed numbers are being transformed as below:

\frac{7}{3}  -  \frac{7}{4}

The transformation occur through a simple approach thus: for the first mixed number; 2 1/3 = 2 multiplied by 3 plus 1 divide by 3 equals 7/3. Similarly, mixed number 1 3/4 is transformed by this: 1 multiplied by 4 plus 3 divide by 4 equals 7/4.

Simplifying further to arrive at final result implies,

\frac{7}{3}  -  \frac{7}{4}

Take the LCM of the denominators (4 × 3 =12) and simplify thus:

=   \frac{28 - 21}{12}

=  \frac{7}{12}

A student has taken three math tests so far this semester. His scores for the first three tests were 65​, 67​, and 69. Suppose h
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

Scores for his first tests were 65, 67, 69.

Rate of change: +2

y=2x+63; 63 is the 0th test he took, his first test was 65, so 65-2=63. 2x is the rate of change, his tests scores increase by 2 each time.

x=6, 6th test score

y=2(6)+63

y=12+63

y=75

So, on his 6th test he will get a score of 75
