Let the 1st number be x; 2nd number be y; 3rd number be z.
x + y + z = 79
x = number we are looking for.
y = x * 5 ==> 5 times the first
z = x + 16 ==> 16 more than the first
Therefor,
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
1st step, multiply the 2nd number: x * 5 = 5x
x + 5x + x + 16 = 79
Add all like numbers:
7x + 16 = 79
To get x, transfer 16 to the other side and change its sign from positive to negative.
7x = 79 - 16
7x = 63
To get x, divide both sides by 7
7x/7 = 63/7
x = 9
To check. Substitute x by 9.
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
9 + (9 * 5) + (9 + 16) = 79
9 + 45 + 25 = 79
79 = 79 equal. value of x is correct.
X = 42
x/3 - 4 = 10
+ 4 +4
x/3 = 14
•3 •3
x = 42
The answer to ur question is 0.396
2.2% * 18 = 0.396
Answer:
I can tell you the first one and you can figure it out from there. 70 is 40% persent of what number? Well, we can chop 40% to 20% and chop 70 in half and we get 35. So 35 = 20% So we multiply 35 by five, and get 175. So 70 is 40% of 175.
