Answer:

  • x = 5, y = 7, z = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let the numbers be x, y and z</u>

  • x + y + z = 24
  • 2y = z + 2
  • z = x + y

<u>Solving by substitution:</u>

  • x + y + z = z + z = 24
  • 2z = 24
  • z = 12

  • 2y = z + 2
  • 2y = 12 + 2
  • 2y = 14
  • y = 7

  • z = x + y
  • x = z - y
  • x = 12 - 7 = 5

<u>The answer:</u>

  • x = 5, y = 7, z = 12

Second, find ratio of B
20% of x = 160
Divide 160/.20 to isolate x
X=800 (total biscuits)

WORDED QUADRATIC EQUATION!!! PLS HELP <br><br> MOSTLY NUMBER 5 PLS
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

7,11

Step-by-step explanation:

The width is x. x+4= the length. The area is side times side, so it’s

x × (x+4) = 77

We can simplify this to:

x × x + x × 4 = 77

x^2 + 4x = 77

x^2 + 4x - 77 = 0 This is a quadratic equation. So we can solve using the quadratic formula:

x = \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{4^2-4\cdot1\cdot-77}}{2\cdot1} ->

\frac{-4\pm18}{2}

\frac{14}{2} \implies7

That’s the positive solution and that’s x, the width. So the width is 7 and the length is 7+4=11
