Answer:

9, 30, and 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three numbers be a, b, and c.

The sum of them is 54. So:

a+b+c=54

The third number is 6 more than the first. In other words, c=a+6.

The second number is twice the third. In other words, b=2c.

Let’s write the second number in terms of a. Since b=2c, this means that b=2(a+6).

Let’s substitute them into our equation. So:

a+2(a+6)+(a+6)=54

Solve for a. Distribute:

a+2a+12+a+6=54

Combine like terms:

4a+18=54

Subtract 18 from both sides:

4a=36

Hence, the value of a is:

a=9

So, the first number is 9.

The third number is 6 more than the first, so the third number is 15.

The second number is twice the third. So, the second number is 30.

Therefore, our numbers are:

9, 30, and 15.

The table below shows the number of miles Maggie ran and the number of calories she burned.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The dependent variable is number of calories burnt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dependent variable of an experiment is the variable under study, i.e. it is the variable that is being observed for any changes, when the other variables are changed.

The independent variable is the variable that is being altered to observe the changes in the dependent variable.

A dependent variable can be affected by one or more than one independent variables.

In this case, the data provided represents the number of calories Maggie burned based on the number of miles she ran.

So, the amount of calories burnt is dependent upon the number of miles covered running.

So, the dependent variable is the number of calories burnt and the independent variable is the number of miles she run.

Thus, the dependent variable is number of calories burnt.
