Answer:

X = 8

Y = 32

Z = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

X + Y + Z = 56

Y = 2Z

X = Z – 8

Substitute the values from the second and third equation into the first equation:

Z – 8 + 2Z + Z = 56

Simplify

-8 + 4Z = 56

4Z = 64

Z = 16

So if Y = 2Z, Y = 2(16) = 32

And if X = Z – 8, X = 16-8 = 8

The limit as x-approaches 3 of f(x) is x-3 over x squared -9
Luden [163]

notice that the denominator can be factored into (x-3)(x+3).

Now you can cross out (x - 3) from the numerator and denomiantor resulting in a simplified fraction of \frac{1}{x+3}

Plug the limit value (which is 3) into the simplified fraction.
