Answer:

I. First number, a = 40.

II. Second number, b = 50.

III. Third number, c = 120.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three numbers be a, b and c respectively.

Given the following data;

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;

a + b + c = 210

b = a + 10

c = 3a

Substituting the value of b and c into the equation, we have;

a + a + 10 + 3a = 210

5a + 10 = 210

5a = 210 - 10

5a = 200

a = 200/5

<em>a = 40</em>

To find the value of b;

b = a + 10

b = 40 + 10

<em>b = 50</em>

To find c

c = 3a

c = 3*40

<em>c = 120</em>

the floor of a shed has an area of 96 square feet. the floor is in the shape of a rectangle whose length is 4 feet less than twi
Paul [167]
Alright in this one, you are going to need to factor. 
The width is x
The length is 2x-4
To find the area of a rectangle is L*W
so (2x-4)(x) when distributed is 2x^2 -4x

Then put that in the equation and you have:
2x^2 -4x = 96
2x^2 -4x -96 = 0  

2x^2+12x-16x-96=0
3x(x+4)-4(x+4)=0
(3x-4)=0
(x+4)=0
x=-4
<u>x=3/4</u>
Since length isn't negative
we will use <u>3/4 as x.
</u>
Width= 0.75 ft
Length= 1.5
