Answer:

The numbers are 3, 12 and 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers =x, y and z.

The sum of three numbers is 20 implies x+y+z=20----------------i

The second number is 4 times the first implies y=4x--------------ii

The sum of the first and the third is 8 means x+z=8---------------iii

from (i), z=20-x-y---------iv

Put (iv) in (iii),

x+20-x-y=8

20-y=8

y=20-8=12

y=12

Put y=12 in (ii)

4x=y

x=y/4 = 12/4 = 3

x=3

Put x=3 and y=12 in (iv)

z=20-3-12=5

z=5

Therefore, the numbers are 3, 12 and 5.

5/8(x-1/3)=5/12 can someone help me figure out what x is?
eimsori [14]
Solve for x:(5 (x - 1/3))/(8) = 5/12
Put each term in x - 1/3 over the common denominator 3: x - 1/3 = (3 x)/3 - 1/3:(5 (3 x)/3 - 1/3)/(8) = 5/12
(3 x)/3 - 1/3 = (3 x - 1)/3:(5 (3 x - 1)/3)/(8) = 5/12
3×8 = 24:(5 (3 x - 1))/24 = 5/12
Multiply both sides of (5 (3 x - 1))/24 = 5/12 by 24/5:(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5)/(5×12) = (24×5)/(5×12):(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (5×24)/(5×24)×(3 x - 1) = 3 x - 1:3 x - 1 = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5)/(5×12) = 5/5×24/12 = 24/12:3 x - 1 = 24/12
The gcd of 24 and 12 is 12, so 24/12 = (12×2)/(12×1) = 12/12×2 = 2:3 x - 1 = 2
Add 1 to both sides:3 x + (1 - 1) = 1 + 2
1 - 1 = 0:3 x = 2 + 1
2 + 1 = 3:3 x = 3
Divide both sides of 3 x = 3 by 3:(3 x)/3 = 3/3
3/3 = 1:x = 3/3
3/3 = 1:Answer:  x = 1

How do you find the y-intercept of a line?
pogonyaev

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y= mx+b, where my is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the lone crosses the y axis.

Are the graphs of each pair of equations parallel, perpendicular, or neither? x=4 y=4
Vlad1618 [11]

Both graphs x =4 and y =4 will be perpendicular to each other.

  • The graph of x = 4 is a vertical line down the Graph scope
  • The graph of y =4 is a horizontal line side the Graph scope.

Both the Lines will meet exactly at ( 4, 4 ) perpendicularly at each other both of them intersecting at 90 degrees.

Vertical and Horizontal lines are perpendicular to each other (90 Degrees).
