<u>ANSWER: </u>

The value of the three numbers are -2, 5 and -6 respectively.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Let us say the unknown numbers 1, 2 and 3 are x, y and z respectively.

It is given to us that the last number is three times the first number.

Therefore, we can write it as;

z = 3x  --- eq1

It is also given that the last number is 11 smaller than the second number.

Which can be written as;

z  = y-11  ---- eq2

we are also given that the sum of all three numbers is -3.

So, we can form the equation as follows;

x + y + z = -3 ----- eq3

By equating equation 1 and equation 2 we get

3x = y – 11

y = 3x + 11 --- equation 4

By substituting eqn 1, 4 into equation 3 we get,

x + 3x + 11 + 3x = -3

7x + 11 = -3

7x = -14

x = -2

By substituting the value of “x” in eqn 1 we get z = -6

By substituting the value of “x” in eqn 4 we get y = -6 +11 = 5

Hence the three numbers are -2, 5 and -6

Luke and isabella make scale drawings.The scale from isabella's drawing is 6 m to 3 cm. The height of the fountain in isabella's
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The answer is "2.5 \ cm"

Step-by-step explanation:

While Luke is 5m to 2cm in size, it implies that every 2cm to Luke's drawing is 5m in real life. That real pond width must therefore be 5 m, given the fountain's width is 2 cm. As shown in the illustration, the step size for IsabelLa from the illustration to real life is \frac{6}{3} =2, which makes it simple to multiply any measure in the cm of her illustration by 2 to accomplish the exact size in m. So, in another direction around, they just have to divide the value by 2, instead of the divide from reality for drawing. So if the actual worth is 5m, it ought to be \frac{5}{2} = 2.5 \ cm in its width.

An airplane travels 640 miles from Topeka to Houston in 3.2 hours, going against the wind. The return trip is with the wind, and
Mandarinka [93]

The  airplane flies at 260 mi/h with no wind, while the rate of the wind is 60 mi/h.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let a represent the rate of the airplane with no wind. and b the rate of the wind, hence:

(a - b)3.2 = 640

a - b = 200   (1)

Also:

(a + b)2 = 640

a + b = 320    (2)

The solution to equation 1 and 2 is:

a = 260, b = 60

The  airplane flies at 260 mi/h with no wind, while the rate of the wind is 60 mi/h.
