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>

Ryan is trying a low-carbohydrate diet. He would like to keep the amount of carbs consumed in grams between the levels shown in
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

50

Ryan would like to eat <em>more than</em> 50 carbs per day, but <em>no more than</em> 150 carbs per day.

So, Ryan's total carb intake must be <em>between </em>50 and 150 carbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

So he wants to keep his consumption of carbs between the inequalities:

110

So, let's solve both inequalities.

1)

110

Subtract 10 from both sides:

100

Divide both sides by 2:

50

2)

2x+10

Subtract 10 from both sides:

2x

Divide both sides by 2:

x

So, our inequality is now:

110

Since we solved the equations:

50

Written as a compound inequality, this is:

50

In other words, Ryan would like to eat <em>more than</em> 50 carbs per day, but <em>no more than</em> 150 carbs per day.

So, Ryan's total carb intake must be <em>between </em>50 and 150 carbs.
