Mathematics

LekaFEV [45]3 years ago

Answer: <u><em>The first number is 8</em></u>

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

∴<u><em>The first no. is x=8</em></u>

<u><em>The second no. is y=7x = 56</em></u>

<u><em>The third no. is z=7x-18 = 38</em></u>

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.

The coordinates of which point are (–3, –6)? On a coordinate plane, point A is (negative 3, 6), point B is (negative 6, negative
lana [24]

Given:

The coordinates of a point are (-3,-6).

To find:

The point on the coordinate plane whose coordinates are (-3,-6).

Solution:

From the given information of coordinate plane, it is clear that

Coordinates of point A are (-3, 6).

Coordinates of point B are (-6,-3)

Coordinates of point C are (-3,-6)

Coordinates of point D are (3,-6)

It is clear that, only point C has coordinates (-3,-6).

So, the required point is C.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

2) Evaluate 9 X 364 – 9 X 125 – 9 X 39 without the use of your calculator
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

<em>9*364 - 9*125 - 9*39 = 1,800</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Mental Calculation</em>

If we detect known patterns in the calculations, we could easily give their results without the use of calculators.

We are given the expression to evaluate:

9*364 - 9*125 - 9*39

The first thing to note is the 9 is a common factor of all terms, thus we take it out:

9*(364 - 125 - 39)

The negative numbers can be easily added

     125

+     39

------------

     164

Now our expression is much easier:

9*(364 - 164)

The subtraction of 364-164 is 200, thus the result of the operations is:

9*200. We only need to recall 9*2=18 and add two zeros to get 1,800, thus:

9*364 - 9*125 - 9*39 = 1,800

The length of a rectangle is three more than its width. The perimeter is 86cm. Find the length and width of the rectangle. Write
elena-s [515]
P=2(l+w)
Substitute width plus 3 for length
Remember order of operations: multiply before adding

86=2((w+3) + w)
86=2w+6+2w
86=4w+6
80=4w
20=w
23=w+3=l

Check the answer
86=2((w+3) + w)
86=2((20+3)+20
86=2(23+20)
86=46+40
86=86
