Answer:

The second number = 30

The first number = 25

The third number = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

The second number = x

The first number = x - 5

The third number = 2(x - 5)

Total = 105

105 = x + (x - 5) + 2(x - 5)

105 = x + x - 5 + 2x - 10

105 = 4x - 15

105 + 15 = 4x

120 = 4x

x = 120/4

x = 30

The second number = x

= 30

The first number = x - 5

= 30 - 5

= 25

The third number = 2(x - 5)

= 2(30 - 5)

= 2(25)

= 50

Given the function f(x)=x2+2x+1, find:<br><br> f( (2a−3)/5 ) =<br><br> Show working please!
Rina8888 [55]
<h3>Given</h3>
  • f(x) = x² + 2x + 1
<h3>Find</h3>
  • f((2a-3)/5)
<h3>Solution</h3>

It can be convenient to rewrite f(x) as a square, then do the substitution. That way, the algebra is simplified a little bit.

... f(x) = (x +1)²

... f((2a-3)/5) = ((2a-3)/5 +1)² = ((2a -3 +5)/5)²

... = (2/5(a+1))²

... f((2a-3)/5) = (4/25)(a² +2a +1)

I believe the answer is $48 because 6 * 2 is 12 and 12 * 2 is 24 and 24 * 2 is 48, thus 48$. Please feel free to check my work, though.
