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!

Ahmed wrote an expression as 12x + 24, find all the equivalent expressions using the distributive property.
xeze [42]

Answer:

12x + 24 = 2(6x + 12)

12x + 24 = 3(4x +  8)

12x + 24 = 4(3x +  6)

12x + 24 = 6(2x +  4)

12x + 24 = 12(x +  2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

12x + 24

Required

Equivalent expressions

No option were given; So, I will list out some possible equivalent expressions.

Using distributive property:

AB + AC = A*(B + C)

So, we have:

12x + 24 = 2*6x + 2 * 12

12x + 24 = 2(6x + 12) ----- (1)

Another:

12x + 24 = 3*4x + 3 * 8

12x + 24 = 3(4x +  8)

Another:

12x + 24 = 4*3x +  4*6

12x + 24 = 4(3x +  6)

Another:

12x + 24 = 6*2x +  6*4

12x + 24 = 6(2x +  4)

Another:

12x + 24 = 12*x +  12*2

12x + 24 = 12(x +  2)

If f(x)=1/6x+12, then f^-1(x)=<br> PLEASE HELP
Finger [1]

f(x)=\dfrac{1}{6}x+12\to y=\dfrac{1}{6}x+12


Change x to y, and y to x.


x=\dfrac{1}{6}y+12


solve for y:


\dfrac{1}{6}y+12=x\ \ \ |-12\\\\\dfrac{1}{6}y=x-12\ \ \ \ |\cdot6\\\\y=6x-72


Your answer is:


f^{-1}(x)=6x-72

Solve the equation a=m-n for the variable n.
amid [387]
Our objective is to isolate n one side of the equation. The steps are as follows...

a=m-n
(Add n to both sides)
a+n=m-n+n
(The -n and +n cancel out, on the right side of the equation)
a+n=m
(Now subtract a from both sides)
a+n-a=m+a
(The +a and -a cancel out, on the right side of the equation)
n=m+a
