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!

What is a quartic polynomial function in standard form with zeros -2,4,4,and 3
Travka [436]

We can simply multiply the roots together to find the original function.

(x + 2)(x - 4)(x - 4)(x - 3)

FOIL.

x^2 - 4x + 2x - 8(x - 4)(x - 3)

Combine like terms.

x^2 - 2x - 8(x - 4)(x - 3)

FOIL.

x^3 - 2x^2 - 8x - 4x^2 + 8x + 32(x - 3)

Combine like terms.

x^3 - 6x^2 + 32(x - 3)

FOIL.

x^4 - 6x^3 + 32x - 3x^3 + 18x^2 - 96

Combine like terms.

<h3>x^4 - 9x^3 + 18x^2 + 32x - 96 is the original function with the given roots.</h3>

one moving company charges $800 plus $16 per hour another moving company charges $720 plus $21 an hour at what number of hours w
Gekata [30.6K]

800 + 16x = 720 + 21x. Cancel out the 720 to get 80 + 16x = 21x. Subtract 16x from both sides to get 80 = 5x. Divide by 5 to get 16 = x, or x = 16. 16 hours. The charge is 800 + 16(16), = 720 + 21(16) which = 800 + 256 = 720 + 336 which = 1,056 = 1,056. Hope this helped!
