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

In rectangle $ABCD$, $AD=1$, $P$ is on $\overline{AB}$, and $\overline{DB}$ and $\overline{DP}$ trisect $\angle ADC$. Write the
Studentka2010 [4]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

w+x+y+z = 12

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

When right angle ADC is divided into three equal parts (trisected), each of those parts is 90°/3 = 30°. Thus, ∠CDB = ∠PBD = ∠PDB = 30°.

The sides of a 30°-60°-90° triangle are in the proportion 1 : √3 : 2. Hence BD = 2, and PD = PB = 2/√3 = (2/3)√3.

Then the perimeter of ∆BDP is ...

... perimeter ∆BDP = BD + DP + PB

... = 2 + (2/3)√3 + (2/3)√3

... = 2 + (4√3)/3 . . . . . . . . w=2, x=4, y=3, z=3

w + x + y + z = 2+4+3+3 = 12

In two or more complete sentences, compare the number of x-intercepts in the graph of f(x) =x2 to the number of x-intercepts in
Natalija [7]
Important:  Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation:

<span>"f(x) =x^2 to the number of x-intercepts in the graph of g(x) = x^2 +2."

Notes:  the graph of f(x) = x^2 is a vertical parabola that opens up.  It has its vertex at (0,0).  This is the only point at which f(x)=x^2 has a horiz. intercept.

g(x) = x^2 + 2 has a graph that looks the same as that of f(x) = x^2, EXCEPT that the whole graph is moved 2 units UP.  This new graph never touches or intersects the x-axis.  Therefore, g(x) has NO horiz. intercepts (no x-int.).

Find the median of the data
kicyunya [14]
The median is the middle number of the data plot. Since there 30 numbers, there isn't a exact middle. To find the median you must add the two middle number then divide by 2. 
In this case you must add 87 and 88 which gives 175.
Then divide 175 by 2 which gives 87.5
87.5 is the median
