First number = x
Third number = x - 7
Second number = 2(x - 7)
x + 2(x - 7) + x - 7 = 107
x + 2x - 14 + x - 7 = 107
Collect like terms.
4x - 21 = 107
4x = 128
x = 32
First number = 32
Second number = 50
Third number = 25
Total = 107.

Answer:

(x - 8) + 3x + x = 107

x - 8 + 3x + x = 107

5x - 8 = 107

5x = 115

x = 23, SO...

The first number is 23-8, which is 15

The second number is 3 x 23, which is 69

The third number is 23

15 + 69 + 23 = 107 CHECK!

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope if it exits 2x-5y=6
77julia77 [94]
In standard form, slope is always the negative of the x coefficient over the y coefficient.

If you dont want to have that memorized, you can use algebra to get the equation of the line into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

Set it equal to y

2x - 5y = 6
2x = 5y + 6
2x - 6 = 5y
(2/5)x - 6/5 = y
Now it is in slope intercept form. In slope intercept form, the coefficient multiplying with x is the slope of the line. Therefore, the slope equals 2/5.

What is 17/18 + 1/20
MrMuchimi

Answer:

179/180

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Step One</u></em>

Find the prime factors of 18 and 20

18:3*3*2

20: 2 * 2 * 5

<em><u>Step Two</u></em>

You need two 2s two 3s and one 5 for the common denominator

The common denominator is 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 = 180

<em><u>Step Three</u></em>

Put the two fractions over 180

\dfrac{17*10}{10*18} + \dfrac{1*9}{10*18}

\dfrac{170}{180} + \dfrac{9}{180}

PLEASE HELP ME RN PLEASE ​
Advocard [28]

Answer:

1.

\frac{n^{2} - 1 }{2}

2.

\sqrt{29}

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle=1/2×b×h

=

\frac{1}{2}  \times (n - 1)(n + 1)

\frac{( {n}^{2} + n - n - 1) }{2 }

\frac{ {n}^{2} - 1 }{2}

2. Area of triangle=14

\frac{ {n}^{2} - 1 }{2}  = 14

{n}^{2}  - 1 = 28

{n}^{2}  = 29

n =  \sqrt{29}

please rate well and mark BRAINLIEST.

thanks
