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>

Sergeeva-Olga [200]
The answer is:  - 6 .
_____________________________________________

Evaluate the value INSIDE the "bars". 
  b - a  =  -2  -  4  = -6 .  The absolute value of the value inside inside the bars is the "positive" number of that value.  The value is negative 6; so, the absolute value, or "magnitude", of "-6", is "6";  Then, then "-" (6) = -6.  So the answer is: -6 .
