Answer:
second number= X
first number = X+8
third number X/3
sum of three numbers is 50.
X+X+8+X/3=50
2x+x/3=50-8
(6x+x) / 3 =42
7x =42*3
X =42*3/7
=18
Second number=18
third number= 18/3=6
first number=18+8=26

The answer to your question is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
cos Ф = 3/5
tan2Ф = ?
Quadrant IV
Process
1.- Remember that tanФ =
and cos Ф = 
then, adjacent side = 3 and hypotenuse = 5
2.- Calculate opposite side
O² = h² - a²
O² = 5² - 3²
O² = 25 - 9
O² = 16
O = 4
3.- Calculate the tan 2Ф
tan 2Ф = 2(
) The opposite side is negative in the fourth
quadrangle
tan 2Ф = 
1. 
These two numbers are: -5 and -5
-5 + (-5) = -10
-5 * -5 = 25
so...
(x - 5)(x - 5)
To find the roots set the factored numbers equal to zero and solve for x:
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
2. 
This equation needs to be equal to zero, so bring -14 to the other side by adding 14 to both sides

Find two numbers that the sum is equal to 9 AND the multiplication of the numbers is 14
These numbers are 7 and 2
7 + 2 = 9
7*2 = 14
so...
(x + 2) (x + 7)
To find the roots set the each of the factored numbers equal to zero and solve for x:
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
x + 7 = 0
x = -7
3. 
This equation needs to be equal to zero, so bring 6x to the other side by subtracting 6x to both sides

In this equation you can factor out a 3 and an x:
3x (x - 2)
To find the roots set the each of the factored numbers equal to zero and solve for x:
3x = 0
3x/3 = 0/3
x = 0
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Hope this helped!
Is means equal
of means multiplication
so
20 = 40% x a
40% = 40/100 = 4/10 = 2/5
So
20 = 2/5 x a
Multiply both sides by 5/2
20 x 5/2 = a
10 x 5 = a
a =50
So your final answer is
Use PEMDAS and the distributive property to solve this problem-
3(x+2)-2(x+1)=8
(3 times x and 3 times 2)
3x+6-2(x+1)=8
(-2 times x and -2 times 1)
3x+6-2x-2=8
Combine like terms (3x/-2x and 6/-2)
x+4=8
Subtract 4 from both sides
x=4
