Answer: The first number is 8

Step-by-step explanation: Let the three No. s be x, y and z respectively

given = x+ y+ z= 72

y=7x

z=7x-18

∴As we know x+ y+ z=72

i.e. x+7x+7x-18=72

15x=72+18=90

15x=90

x=90/15

∴x=8

∴y=7x

7×8=56

∴z=7x-18

56-18=38

∴The first no. is x=8

The second no. is y=7x = 56

The third no. is z=7x-18 = 38

Answer:

Let the first number be x, second number be 7x and the third number be 7x-18. Then,

Sum of the numbers=72

or, x+(7x) +(7x-18)=72

or, 15x=90

or, x=6

So, the first number is 6.

I dont get this question, anyone help me please

prisoha [69]

Its a line plot, for every number that is listed put a mark above the number on the number line. So if there was 3 6's, on the number line above the 6, put 3 marks like dots or x's to represent the amount of 6.
Hope you understand.

A where and a cylinder have the same radius and height . The volume of the cylinder is 48 cm 3. What is the volume of the sphere

SOVA2 [1]

Given:

Sphere and cylinder have same radius and height.

Volume of the cylinder = 48 cm³

To find:

The volume of the sphere.

Solution:

Radius and height of cylinder are equal.

⇒ r = h

Volume of cylinder:

$V=\pi r^2h$

Substitute the given values.

$48=\pi r^2r$ (since r = h)

$48=\pi r^3$

$48=3.14 \times r^3$

Divide by 3.14 on both sides.

$$\frac{48}{3.14} =\frac{3.14\times r^3}{3.14}$

$$15.28=r^3$

Taking cube root on both sides, we get

2.48 = r

The radius of the cylinder is 2.48 cm.

Sphere and cylinder have same radius and height.

Volume of sphere:

$$V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

$$V=\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (2.48)^3$

$V=63.85$

The volume of the sphere is 63.85 cm³.

2. You deposit $1200 into a bank account. Every year that accounts increase by 15 %.

lord [1]

Answer:

Exponential Growth, 1200(1.15)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a Growth function because it is "increasing" yearly. The equation is multiplying with 1.15 because when it is increasing, you need to add 1 to the percentage rate.
