Answer:

12, 15, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 1st # = x

Let 2nd # = x+3

Let 3rd # = 2x

Your equation is: x + (x+3) + 2x = 51

Add up all the x: x + x +3 +2x =51

Subtract 3 from both sides: 4x + 3 - 3 = 51 - 3

Divide 4 from both sides: 4x / 4 = 48 / 4

Your 1st number is x = 12

For the 2nd # it is 3 more than x so 12 + 3 = 15

For the 3rd # it is 2 times x so 2(12) = 24

Check your answers by adding up the numbers you solved: 12 + 15 +24 = 51

Does it equal to 51 as stated in the question? Yes, answers check out.

The probability of choosing Joey first is 1/12 .

If that happens, the probability of choosing Chloe next is 1/11 .

Then, the probability of choosing Zoe after that is 1/10 .

The probability of all these things happening is

(1/12) x (1/11) x (1/10)

consider the point (x,y) lying on the graph of y=(x+3)^1/2. let L be the distance between the points (x,y) and (4,0). write l as

$L=\sqrt{ (x-4)^2 + y^2 }$
and
$y=\sqrt{x+3} \Rightarrow x = y^2-3$

$L=\sqrt{ (x-4)^2 + y^2 }=\sqrt{ (y^2 - 3-4)^2 + y^2 }=\sqrt{ (y^2-7)^2 + y^2 }$

Which lines are parallel if M^4 +M^5? Justify your answer.

Igoryamba

Opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines are equal, so angle 1 is the same as angle 4. That means angle 1 = angle 5 as well.

<span>When a line intersects two parallel lines, the corresponding angles are equal. That is, if r and s are parallel, then the angles formed when l intersects r are the same s the angles formed when l intersects s. Angle 1 = Angle 5, Angle 2 = Angle 6, and so forth. Since we know angle 1 = angle 5, so from that you can see that r and s are parallel</span>
