Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the first number = x

Let the second number = 2x + 4

Let the third number = 3x -5

The sum of the three numbers = 101

Equation

x + 2x + 4 + 3x - 5 = 101         Combine like terms on the left

x + 2x + 3x + 4 - 5 = 101        Combine

6x - 1 = 101                             Add 1 to both sides

6x = 101 + 1

6x = 102                                Divide by 6

6x/6 = 102/6

x = 17

Answer

The first number = 17

The second number = 2*17 + 4 = 34 + 4 = 38

The Third number = 3*17 - 5 = 51 - 5 = 46

Check

17 + 38 + 46  = 101

PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ANSWER THIS
postnew [5]

Step-by-step explanation:

(a.y^{3} +3y^{2} -3 ) = (ay^{2} +(4a+3)y +4(4a+3))(y-4) +64a+45

so A = 64a +45

(2y^{3} -5y+a =(2y^{2} +8y +27)(y-4) +108 +a

so B = 108 +a

2A-B=0--> 2(64a+45)-108-a=0--> a =18/127

A profit of a football club after a takeover is modeled by p(t) = t3 - 14t2 + 20t + 120, which t is the number of years after th
Bogdan [553]
T = 5, so after 5 years
p(t) = t^3 - 14t^2 + 20t + 120

Take derivative to find minimum:
p’(t) = 3t^2 - 28t + 10

Factor to solve for t:
p’(t) = (3t - 2)(t - 5)
0 = (3t - 2)(t - 5)

0 = 3t - 2
2 = 3t
2/3 = t

Plug 2/3 into original equation, this is a maximum. We want the minimum:

0 = t - 5
5 = t

Plug back into original:
5^3 - 14(5)^2 + 20(5) + 120
125 - 14(25) + 100 + 120
125 - 350 + 220
- 225 + 220
p(5) = -5
