Answer:

<em> The numbers are 6, 18, and 30 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

If the three numbers are in the ratio of 3:9:10,

let the numbers be 3x, 9x and 10x.

<em>If 10 is added to the last number to form an arithmetic progression</em>

<em>Then, 3x 9x (10x+10) are the progression</em>

The common difference of an arithmetic progression (d) = T₂ - T₁ = T₃ - T₂

T₂-T₁ = T₃ - T₂ .............. Equation 1

Where T₁ = first term of the progression, T₂ = Second term of the progression, T₃ = third term of the progression

<em>Given: T₁ = 3x, T₂ = 9x, T₃ = 10x +10</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>9x-3x = (10x+10)-9x</em>

<em>Solving the equation above,</em>

<em>3x = 10+x</em>

<em>3x-x = 10</em>

<em>2x = 10</em>

<em>x = 10/2</em>

<em>x = 2.</em>

<em>Therefore the numbers are 6, 18, and 30 </em>

Answer:

D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph of that sort will make a perfectly mirrored "V" shape, and with no offset, the bottom point will be on the y axis.  This means that the first equation will intercept the y axis at zero, the second will intercept the y-axis at -15.

"A" may seem correct also, as the second graph will intercept the x-axis at -15, but it is not complete, as it will intercept that axis at +15 as well.
