Answer:

Our three numbers are 8, 48, and 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first, second, and third numbers be <em>x</em>, <em>y</em>, and <em>z</em>, respectively.

The sum of them is 72. In other words:

x + y + z = 72

The second number <em>y</em> is three times the third number <em>z</em>. So:

y = 3z

And the third number <em>z</em> is eight more than the first number <em>x</em>. So:

z = x + 8

To find the numbers, solve for the system. We can substitute the last two equations into the first:

x + (3z) + ( x + 8) = 72

Substitute again:

\displaystyle x + 3(x+8) + x+8 = 72

Solve for <em>x</em>. Distribute:

x+3x+24+x+8=72

Combine like term:

5x + 32 = 72

Subtract:

5x = 40

And divide:

x=8

Thus, the first number is eight.

And since the third number is eight more than the first, the third number <em>z</em> is 16.

The second number is three times the third. Thus, the second number <em>y</em> is 3(16) or 48.

Our three numbers are 8, 48, and 16.

Let f(x) = 4x – 1, h(x) = -x-1.<br><br> Find (f o h)(6)<br><br> (foh)(6) =
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

(foh)(6) = -29

Step-by-step explanation:

(f o h)(6) is f(h(x)) when x = 6.

We have that:

f(x) = 4x - 1

h(x) = -x-1

f(h(x)) = 4(-x-1) - 1 = -4x - 4 - 1 = -4x - 5

(foh)(6) = -4(6) - 5 = -29

(foh)(6) = -29
