Lets first numbers is x, second is (x+2), third is x+4
sum is x+(x+2)+(x+4)=87
3x+6=87
3x=81
x=27
Answer: smallest number is 27

The three numbers would be 27, 29, and 31. 27 + 29 + 31 = 87 The smallest of these numbers is 27 so that's your answer.

Find the center and radius of the sphere whose equation is given by x2+y2+z2−2x−4y+8z+17=0x2+y2+z2−2x−4y+8z+17=0.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
We know that
the equation of a sphere is
(x-h)²+(y-k)²+(z-l)²=r²
where (h,k,l) is the center and r is the radius

we have
x²+y²+z²<span>−2x−4y+8z+17=0
</span>

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(x²+2x)+(y²-4y)+(z²+8z)=-17
<span>Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side
</span>(x²+2x+1)+(y²-4y+4)+(z²+8z+16)=-17+1+4+16
(x²+2x+1)+(y²-4y+4)+(z²+8z+16)=4

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+1)²+(y-2²)+(z+4)²=4

(x+1)²+(y-2²)+(z+4)²=2²

the center is the point (-1,2,-4) and the radius is 2 units

If (x) = 3x - 5 and g(x) = x + 3, find (f - g)(x).
Temka [501]

Answer:

2x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

f (x) = 3x - 5

g(x) = x + 3,

(f - g)(x) = 3x - 5 - ( x+3)

Distribute the minus sign

            = 3x-5 -x-3

Combine like terms

           = 2x -8

I’m slow and lazy and yeah sorry just at least help
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

2) x = 6    y = 7      3) x = -5    y= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2) 10x - 8y = 4

   2(-5x + 3y = -9)

-10x + 6y = -18

 10x - 8y =   4      Add both equations together

         -2y = -14

         y = 7            Divide both sides by -2

10(x) - 8(7) = 4       Plug in 7 for the y to solve for x

10x - 56 = 4  

     + 56 + 56        Add 56 to both sides

10x = 60

x = 6                      Divide both sides by 10

3) Where the two lines intersect, that is the solution to x and y.

The lines intersect at (-5,2). x = -5      y = 2

((2t+10) / 2) + ((3t-15) / 2) + (3s) = 180 
((2t+10) / 2) + ((3t-15) / 2) + (4r) = 180
((2t+10) / 2) + ((3t-15) / 2) + (3s) = ((2t+10) / 2) + ((3t-15) / 2) + (4r) 
(2t+10) = (3t-15)   t=25
2*25+10= 60  ,   3*25-15=60
60+60= 120 ,   This rectangle has a total of 360 degrees 
360 - 120 = 240
240/2 =120
120/ 4 = 30  ,  120/3 = 40
r=30    s=40
