The answer is x = -4 or x = 9
Let's call the three numbers a, b, and c.
Now we can turn the information we are given into equations.
The sum of the three numbers is 26:
a + b + c = 26
Twice the first (2 times a) minus the second (2 times a minus b) is 2 less than the third:
2a - b = c - 2
The third is the second minus three times the first:
c = b - 3a
Counting what we have here, we now have three equations and three variables: enough to solve the whole system of equations.
The third equation gives us c directly, so we can start there and substitute into the second equation:
2a - b = (b - 3a) - 2
2a + 3a = b + b - 2
5a = 2b - 2
Let's get one of these variables on its own so we can continue with the substitution:
5a + 2 = 2b
b = (5a + 2) / 2
Now we have c in terms of a and b, and b in terms of just a. So let's use the first equation and substitute to find out what a is:
a + b + c = 26
a + (5a + 2) / 2 + (b - 3a) = 26
a + (5/2)a + 1 + (5a + 2) / 2 - 3a = 26
7/2a + 1 + 5/2a + 1 - 3a = 26
12/2a + 2 - 3a = 26
6a - 3a = 26 - 2
3a = 24
a = 8
At last, we have solved for one of the variables. Now, plug this into the equation for b to find b:
b = (5a + 2) / 2 = (5(8) + 2) / 2 = (40 + 2) / 2 = 42 / 2 = 21
Now we have a and b. Time to find c!
a + b + c = 26
(8) + (21) + c = 26
29 + c = 26
c = 26 - 29
c = -3
<span>So our values for a, b, and c are 8, 21, and -3.</span>

Answer:
970
Step-by-step explanation:
It turns out that the radical terms cancel, so the result is an integer. You can find the integer value using your calculator. It is ...
(5 +2√6)³ +1/(5 +2√6)³ = 970
_____
The cube of 'a' is ...
(5+2√6)³ = 5³ +3·5²·2√6 +3·5·(2√6)² +(2√6)³
= 125 +3·50√6 +3·120 +48√6
a³ = 485 +198√6
The reciprocal of this is ...
b³ = 1/a³ = 1/(485 +198√6) = (485 -198√6)/(485² -6·198²) = (485 -198√6)/1
b³ = 485 -198√6
Then the sum is ...
a³ +b³ = (485 +198√6) +(485 -198√6) = 970
Answer:
To provide a situation of 1 and O, here is a situation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The acceleration would be 1.
If the acceleration is 10 m/s, the object will gain more speed.
On the other hand, if the acceleration is -10m/s, then the object will lose speed.
In the case of 1, the object gained more speed, in the case of 0, the object will lose speed.

Answer:
32°
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle ABC is a isosceles so angle A = angle C
The sum of interior angles in a triangle is = 180°
74 + 74 + angle B = 180
B = 32°
