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

Can someone please help me factor and write the equations for these two problems ?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Asymptotes 3

g(x) = \frac{3x}{x^2-3x-10}

Factors of denominator will be,

x² - 3x - 10 = x² - 5x + 2x - 10

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

                 = (x + 2)(x - 5)

Therefore, factored form of g(x) will be,

g(x) = \frac{3x}{(x + 2)(x - 5)}

Asymptotes 4

h(x) = \frac{(x-5)}{x^{2} + 14x + 40}

      = \frac{x-5}{x^{2}+10x+4x+40}

      = \frac{x-5}{x(x+10)+4(x+10)}

      = \frac{x-5}{(x+10)(x+4)}

The sum of x and it’s opposite is always zero?
jeka94

Answer:

1) Let's consider the first case with the number 0 the oppose is also 0 and we have that 0-0=0 so then applies

2) Now let's consider any real number a no matter positive or negative we will have that:

a-a =0

Or in the other case:

-a -(-a) =-a +a=0

So then we can conclude that the expression is a general rule and is true

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can verify if the following expression is true or false:

The sum of x and it’s opposite is always zero?

If we want to proof this we need to show that for any number is true.

1) Let's consider the first case with the number 0 the oppose is also 0 and we have that 0-0=0 so then applies

2) Now let's consider any real number a no matter positive or negative we will have that:

a-a =0

Or in the other case:

-a -(-a) =-a +a=0

So then we can conclude that the expression is a general rule and is true
