Hello!

To solve this, we will use a system of equations. We will have the numbers be represented by x, y, and z, where x will represent the first, y the second, and z the third.

x+y+z=54
z=2x
x=6+y

We know that x is equal to 6+y. We can plug this into the second equation to find z.

z=12+2y

Now we can plug these y values into the first equation to find y.

6+y+y+12+2y=54
18+4y=54
4y=36
y=9

Now we know the value of y. We can plug this into the equations to find the other values.

x=6+9
x=15

z=15(2)
z=30

Just to check, we will add them all up and see if they equal 64.

15+9+30=54

The first number is 15, the second is 9, and the third is 30.

I hope this helps!

What is the following sum? Assume x20 and 20.<br> √√x²y³ +2√√x³y² + xy √√y
max2010maxim [7]

The value of the expression \sqrt{x^2y^3} + 2\sqrt{x^3y^4} + xy\sqrt y is 2xy\sqrt{y} + 2xy^2\sqrt{x}

<h3>How to evaluate the sum?</h3>

The attachment represents the proper format of the question

The summation expression is given as:

\sqrt{x^2y^3} + 2\sqrt{x^3y^4} + xy\sqrt y

Expand the radicands

\sqrt{x^2y^2 * y} + 2\sqrt{x^2y^4* x} + xy\sqrt y

Evaluate the square roots

xy\sqrt{y} + 2xy^2\sqrt{x} + xy\sqrt y

Add the like terms

2xy\sqrt{y} + 2xy^2\sqrt{x}

Hence, the value of the expression \sqrt{x^2y^3} + 2\sqrt{x^3y^4} + xy\sqrt y is 2xy\sqrt{y} + 2xy^2\sqrt{x}
