The sum of three numbers is 185

<h3><u>The value of the first number, x, is equal to 18.</u></h3><h3><u>The value of the second number, y, is equal to 90.</u></h3><h3><u>The value of the third number, z, is equal to 77.</u></h3>

x + y + z = 185

y = 5x

z = y - 13

Because we already have a value for y, we already have a value for z. We can now solve for a value of x.

x + 5x + 5x - 13 = 185

Add 13 to both sides.

x + 5x + 5x = 198

Combine like terms.

11x = 198

Divide both sides by 11.

x = 18

Because we have a value of x, we can solve for the exact values of y and z.

y = 5(18)

y = 90


z = (90) - 13

z = 77

5 students, including Alice, Bob, and Cindy, line up in a row. In how many ways can they line up so that Alice is somewhere betw
Inga [223]

Answer:

20 possible arrangements

Step-by-step explanation:

A: Alice  

B: Bob

C: Cindy

X: other student

All the possible arrangements are:

When Bob is in the first place

B A C X X

B A X C X

B A X X C

B X A C X

B X A X C

B X X A C

6 possible arrangements

When Bob is in the second place (notice that neither Alice nor Cindy can be before Bob)

X B A C X

X B A X C

X B X A C

3 possible arrangements

When Bob is in the third place

X X B A C

Only 1 possible arrangement.

Total arrangements when Bob is before Cindy: 10

If Cindy is before Bob the same situations are repeated, given another 10 arrangements. So, the total line up in which Alice is somewhere between Bob and Cindy are 20.

Find the vertex points of y&gt;-3x+1, 4y
hoa [83]
The vertex is in the form (x, y).

The x value of the vertex is found using x = -b/2a.

After finding the x values, plug it into the given inequality to find the y value of the vertex.

Then express the vertex as a point in the form (x, y).

Has a slope of -2/5 and goes through (-10,-1)​
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the point-slope form of a straight line equation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-1)) = -2/5(x - -10)

y + 1 = -2/5(x + 10)

y  + 1 = -2/5x - 4

y = -2/5x - 5.

In standard form this is:

2x + 5y = -25.

2(2)(-3)(4) - 3(2)(-3)

4(-3)(4) - 6(-3)

-12(4) - (-18)

-48 + 18

-30

Whenever there are two minus signs next to each other, your answer should become a positive.  If there is one minus sign and one addition sign, it will stay a negative sign.  If there are two addition signs, the addition sign will stay the same.
