The sum of three numbers is 72

Mathematics
2 answers:
LekaFEV [45]3 years ago
6 0

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.

In a cryptarithm, each letter is assigned its own unique digit. In the cryptarithm shown (where MATH is 3 times FUN), FUN is a 3
ANEK [815]

The 3 digit number that is FUN is; 678

<h3>What is the combination of the numbers?</h3>

We are told that MATH is 3 times the word "FUN".

We are also told that each letter is assigned a unique number and that no leading digit can be zero and that the digits must be consecutive.

Now, product of 789 by 3 gives;2367.

Each letter should have a unique letter and so that is not the correct sequence.

Let us try the product of 678 by;

678 * 3 = 2034

This fulfils the condition of the question because each letter has a unique digit, the lead digit is not zero and the numbers are consecutive numbers in increasing order.

Thus, the 3-digit number that is FUN is 678.

Consider this sequence: -81, -54, -36, -24, … . The sequence is . The common ratio of the sequence is . The sum of the first fiv
solong [7]

Answer:

The reason for the decreasing sequence is \frac{2}{3}

the sum of the sequence is -243

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the numbers are decreasing so we will use the following formula to find the sum:

S∞=\frac{t1}{1-q},

where t1 is equal to the first number of the sequence and q is the reason that gives the following results.

to find q this form is used;  

q= \frac{t2}{t1}= \frac{-54}{-81} =\frac{2}{3}

then we replace in the formula of the sum to find the total
