The sum of three numbers $x$ ,$y$, $z$ is 165. When the smallest number $x$ is multiplied by 7, the result is $n$. The value $n$

is obtained by subtracting 9 from the largest number $y$. This number $n$ also results by adding 9 to the third number $z$. What is the product of the three numbers?

You're given

<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> + <em>z</em> = 165

7<em>x</em> = <em>n</em>

<em>n</em> = <em>y</em> - 9

<em>n</em> = 9 + <em>z</em>

and you want to find <em>xyz</em>.

Solve the last three equations for <em>x</em>, <em>y</em>, and <em>z</em> :

7<em>x</em> = <em>n</em>   →   <em>x</em> = <em>n</em>/7

<em>n</em> = <em>y</em> - 9   →   <em>y</em> = <em>n</em> + 9

<em>n</em> = 9 + <em>z</em>   →   <em>z</em> = <em>n</em> - 9

Substitute <em>x</em>, <em>y</em>, and <em>z</em> into the first equation and solve for <em>n</em> :

<em>n</em>/7 + (<em>n</em> + 9) + (<em>n</em> - 9) = 165

<em>n</em>/7 + 2<em>n</em> = 165

<em>n</em> + 14<em>n</em> = 1155

15<em>n</em> = 1155

<em>n</em> = 77

Now solve for <em>x</em>, <em>y</em>, and <em>z</em> :

<em>x</em> = 77/7 = 11

<em>y</em> = 77 + 9 = 86

<em>z</em> = 77 - 9 = 68

Then the product is

<em>xyz</em> = 11 • 86 • 68 = 64,328

Answer:

  • -1, 9, - 21, 69

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given recursive formula:</u>

  • a₁ = -1
  • aₙ = - 3aₙ₋₁ + 6 for n ≥ 2

<u>The first 4 terms are:</u>

  • a₁ = - 1, given
  • a₂ = - 3*(-1) + 6 = 3 + 6 = 9
  • a₃ = - 3*(9) + 6 = - 27 + 6 = - 21
  • a₄ = - 3*(-21) + 6 = 63 + 6 = 69

A circle with radius 4 inches is inscribed in an equilateral triangle. Find the area of the triangle.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The inscribed circle has its center at the point of intersection of the angle bisectors, which also happen to be the medians. Hence the altitude of the triangle is 3 times the radius, or 12 inches.

The side length of this triangle is 2/√3 times the altitude, so the area is

... Area = (1/2)·b·h = (1/2)·(24/√3 in)·(12 in)

... Area = 48√3 in² ≈ 83.1384 in²
