Answer:

The required numbers are: 36, 40, 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first number = 4x

Second number = 4(x+1)

Third number = 4(x+2)

There sum = 120

We need to find the numbers

We can write:

4x+4(x+1)+4(x+2)=120\\4x+4x+4+4x+8=120\\12x+12=120\\12x=120-12\\12x=108\\x=\frac{108}{12}\\x=9

So, we get x = 9

Now, finding the numbers:

first number = 4x = 4(9) =36

Second number = 4(x+1) = 4(9+1) = 4(10) = 40

Third number = 4(x+2) = 4(9+2) = 4(11) = 44

So, The required numbers are: 36, 40, 44

To decrease an amount by 4% what single multiplier would u use ??
serg [7]

If you decrease something by 4 percent,

you are  keeping (100% - 4%) or 96% of the original

so multiply by the original amount by 96 percent or .96


If you have 100 pennies, and you  give 4 away ( 4 percent decrease), you still have 96 pennies.  You are keeping 96 percent of what you started with.  This works no matter how much you start with.


Example:


you have 40 dollars

4% decrease

40 * .04 =  1.6 take this away

40 - 1.6 = 38.4 left

you keep 96 percent

40 * .96 = 38.4 left

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: x = 0; x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x+2}{x-4} *\frac{3x}{x+4}\\ \\x+2(x+4) = x-4(3x)\\x^{2} +2x+ 4x + 8 = 3x^{2} -12x\\2x+4x+12x =3x^{2} - x^{2} \\20x= 2x^{2} \\10x = x^2\\x=0\\x=10

Hope this helps!
