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 measure of z?
Ymorist [56]

Solving a system of linear equations, we conclude that the measure of side Z is 2√13

<h3>How to find the measure of side Z?</h3>

Remember the Pythagorean theorem. It says that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs.

In the image, we can identify 3 right triangles, and with the Pythagorean theorem, we can write a system of 3 equations.

x^2 = y^2 + 4^2

z^2 = y^2 + 9^2

(4 + 9)^2 = z^2 + x^2

We want to solve that for z.

Now, the second equation can be rewritten to:

y^2 = z^2 - 9^2

Now let's replace the first equation into the third one, so we get:

(4 + 9)^2 = z^2 + (y^2 + 4^2)

Now we can replace y^2 by z^2 - 9^2

(4 + 9)^2 = z^2 + ((z^2 - 9^2) + 4^2)

Now we can solve this:

(13)^2 = z^2 + z^2 - 9^2 + 4^2

(13)^2 + 9^2 - 4^2 = 2*z^2

104/2 = z^2

52 = z^2

√52 = z

√(4*13) = z

√4*√13 = z

2√13 = z

We conclude that the measure of side Z is 2√13

Dr. Yancy conducted a correlation study in which she found that the more time children in her study read at home the better they
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

A. Positive

Step-by-step explanation:

They ask us about the relationship between reading and grades.

First you have to go to the first part of the statement that says:

"Dr. Yancy conducted a correlation study in which she found that the more time children in her study read at home the better they performed in school"

In this case they tell us that there is a positive correlation, that the more you read the better your performance in school is.

Performance is your grades, and home study can be reading, so the score is positive in the second half, too.
