Answer:
the answer is 1/27. C :))
Let
x---------> the length of the first piece
y---------> the length of the second piece
z---------> the length of the third piece
we know that
x+y+z=72 -------> equation 1
y=x+6 -----> solve for x
x=y-6 -------> equation 2
z=6+y -------> equation 3
substitute equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1
[y-6]+y+[6+y]=72
3y=72
y=(72/3)=24 in
<u>Find the value of x</u>
x=y-6 -------> equation 2
x=24-6=18 in
<u>Find the value of z</u>
z=6+y -------> equation 3
z=6+24=30 in
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of the first piece is 18 in
the length of the second piece 24 in
the length of the third piece is 30 in
Answer:
The mentioned number in the exercise is:
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the mentioned number in the exercise, first you must write the equations you can obtain with it.
If:
- x = hundredths digit
- y = tens digit
- z = ones digit
We can write:
- x = z + 1 (the hundreds digit is one more than the ones digit).
- y = 2x (the tens digit is twice the hundreds digit).
- x + y + z = 11 (the sum of the digits is 11).
Taking into account these data, we can use the third equation and replace it to obtain the number and the value of each digit:
- x + y + z = 11
- (z + 1) + y + z = 11 (remember x = z + 1)
- z + 1 + y + z = 11
- z + z +y + 1 = 11 (we just ordered the equation)
- 2z + y + 1 = 11 (z + z = 2z)
- 2z + y = 11 - 1 (we passed the +1 to the other side of the equality to subtract)
- 2z + y = 10
- 2z + (2x) = 10 (remember y = 2x)
- 2z + 2x = 10
- 2z + 2(z + 1) = 10 (x = z + 1 again)
- 2z + 2z + 2 = 10
- 4z + 2 = 10
- 4z = 10 - 2
- 4z = 8
- z = 8/4
- <u>z = 2</u>
Now, we know z (the ones digit) is 2, we can use the first equation to obtain the value of x:
- x = z + 1
- x = 2 + 1
- <u>x = 3</u>
And we'll use the second equation to obtain the value of y (the tens digit):
- y = 2x
- y = 2(3)
- <u>y = 6</u>
Organizing the digits, we obtain the number:
- Number = xyz
- <u>Number = 362</u>
As you can see, <em><u>the obtained number is 362</u></em>.
