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>

Solve for x:
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Often, the simplest way to solve "ax2 + bx + c = 0" for the value of x is to factor the quadratic, set each factor equal to zero, and then solve each factor. But sometimes the quadratic is too messy, or it doesn't factor at all, or you just don't feel like factoring. While factoring may not always be successful, the Quadratic Formula can always find the solution.

The Quadratic Formula uses the "a", "b", and "c" from "ax2 + bx + c", where "a", "b", and "c" are just numbers; they are the "numerical coefficients" of the quadratic equation they've given you to solve.

Which expression is equivalent to (7 – 3k) – (4 – 5k) – (6 – 2k)?
gladu [14]

Answer:

The right response is "3(k-1)". A further solution is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

⇒ (7 -3k) - (4 - 5k) - (6 - 2k)

On solving the above expression, we get

⇒ 7-3k-4+5k-6+2k

⇒ 7-3k-10+7k

⇒ 3k-3

On taking "3" as common, we get

⇒ 3(k -1 )

Given the formula,v= 4.5 + at,find the value of v when a=1.6 and t=3.5.​
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

v=10.1

Step-by-step explanation:

v= 4.5 + at  -------> equation 1

given

a=1.6

t=3.5

so we will plug in the value in equation 1

v = 4.5 + (1.6 x 3.5)

v = 4.5 + 5.6

v = 10.1
