Answer:

The first number is 16

The second number is 6

The third number is 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The information from the word problem are;

The count of the numbers in the sum = 3 numbers

The value of the sum of the three numbers = 86

The value of the third number = 4 × The value of the first number

The value of the first number = 10 + The value of the second

Let 'x' represent the first number, let 'y' represent the second number and let 'z' represent the third number, we have;

x + y + z = 86...(1)

z = 4 × x...(2)

x = y + 10...(3)

From equation (3), we get;

x = y + 10

∴ y = x - 10...(4)

Substituting the value of <em>z</em> from equation (2) and the value of <em>y</em> from equation (4) in equation (1) gives;

x + y + z = 86

z = 4 × x = 4·x

y = x - 10

∴ x + y + z = x + (x - 10) + 4·x = 86

x + (x - 10) + 4·x = x + x - 10 + 4·x = 6·x - 10 = 86

6·x = 86 + 10 = 96

∴ x = 96/6 = 16

x = 16

From equation (2), we get;

z = 4 × x

∴ z = 4 × 16 = 64

z = 64

From equation (4), we get

y = x - 10

∴ y = 16 - 10 = 6

y = 6

Therefore; x = 16, y = 6, and z = 64

The numbers are 16, 6, and 64

Write two equations. the first equation should express the area of the square (a as a function of the length (l of a side. the s
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a = l²

v = s³

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width. When that rectangle is a square, the length and width are the same. Here, they are given as "l". Then the area of the square is ...

a = l·l = l²

__

The volume of a cuboid is the product of its height and the area of its base. A cube of edge length s has a square base of side length s and a height of s. Then its volume will be ...

v = s·(s²) = s³

The two equations you want are ...

• a = l²

• v = s³

Nasser invested $550 at 6% simple interest for 5 years. What was his investment worth after 5
kirill [66]

Answer:

B. $715

Step-by-step explanation:

By multiplying your starting value, in this case $550, and your (simple) interest, 6%, or by 1.06 as 0.06 being your interest value and the 1.00 accommodating your starting value you will multiply, $550 × 1.06 = $583. Repeat these steps for however many years you are account for, in this case, five years. Giving you a total of $715

1600 children and 1400 adults attended

<h3>How to determine the number of adults?</h3>

Let the children be x and adult be y.

So, we have the following equations:

x + y = 3000

1.5x + 5y = 9400

Make x the subject in x + y = 3000

x = 3000 - y

Substitute x = 3000 - y  in 1.5x + 5y = 9400

1.5(3000 - y) + 5y = 9400

Expand

4500 - 1.5y + 5y = 9400

Evaluate the like terms

3.5y = 4900

Divide both sides by 3.5

y = 1400

Substitute y = 1400 in x = 3000 - y

x = 3000 - 1400

Evaluate

x = 1600

Hence, 1600 children and 1400 adults attended

The equation of a quadratic is =2^2+3−2and after you factorizing 2^2+3−2=0you got x = -2 and x = 1/2 and the curve crosses the y
Lelechka [254]

Given the next quadratic function:

y=2x^2+3x-2

to sketch its graph, first, we need to find its vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex is found as follows:

x_V=\frac{-b}{2a}

where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the first two coefficients of the quadratic function. Substituting with a = 2 and b = 3, we get:

\begin{gathered} x_V=\frac{-3}{2\cdot2} \\ x_V=-\frac{3}{4}=-0.75 \end{gathered}

The y-coordinate of the vertex is found by substituting the x-coordinate in the quadratic function, as follows:

\begin{gathered} y_V=2x^2_V+3x_V-2 \\ y_V=2\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})^2+3\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})-2 \\ y_V=2\cdot\frac{9}{16}+3\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})-2 \\ y_V=\frac{9}{8}-\frac{9}{4}-2 \\ y_V=-\frac{25}{8}=-3.125 \end{gathered}

The factorization indicates that the curve crosses the x-axis at the points (-2, 0) and (1/2, 0). We also know that the curve crosses the y-axis at (0,-2). Connecting these points and the vertex (-0.75, -3.125) with a U-shaped curve, we get:
