The sum of three numbers is 26. Twice the first minus the second is the third less 2. The third is the second minus 3 times the
Agata [3.3K]

Let a, b, c represent the three numbers. The problem statement gives rise to three equations:

  • a +b +c = 26
  • 2a -b = c -2
  • -3a +b = c

Adding the first two equations gives

... (a +b +c) +(2a -b) = (26) +(c -2)

... 3a +c = 24 +c . . . . . simplify

... 3a = 24 . . . . . . . . . . subtract c

... a = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Adding the second and third equations gives ...

... (2a -b) +(-3a +b) = (c -2) +(c)

... -a = 2c -2 . . . . simplify

... -6 = 2c . . . . . . add 2, substitute for a

... -3 = c . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Using the third equation we can find b.

... -3·8 +b = -3 . . . . substitute for a and c

... b = 21 . . . . . . . . .add 24

The numbers are 8, 21, -3.

_____

The method above is sort of "ad hoc", taking advantage of the numbers in this particular set of equations. You can use more formal methods of Gaussian elimination or Cramer's Rule to solve these by just following a procedure. Or, your graphing calculator can do it for you.

Please help, I'm stuck on this answer.
babymother [125]
I agree with what that person told you. The expression -2(x+10) is equivalent to -2x-20

Multiply the outer -2 with the inner x to get -2 times x = -2x

Multiply the outer -2 with the inner term 10 to get -2 times 10 = -20

So overall, -2(x+10) = -2x-20

--------------------------------------------

So that's how we're able to go from this -2(x+10) \ge 75 to this -2x-20 \ge 75

The only thing that changes is the left side. The inequality sign will not flip. It only flips if we multiply both sides by a negative number.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by the given equation. Using this equation, find the time that the rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second.

y=-16x^2+129x+119

y=−16x
