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

What is 70 X 12 1/2?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

70 x 12 1/2 = 875.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1.) When you multiply fractions, you put whole numbers over one.

Step 2.) Then, you change whole numbers with fractions, to improper fractions.

Step 1.)

70/1 x 12 1/2

Step 2.)

70/1 x 25 / 2.

And then we solve!

70 x 25 = 1750

1 x 2 = 2.

1750 divided by 2 = 875.

Hope this helps!!

Write the equation of a parabola with a vertex and (-5, 2) and a directrix y = -1
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

y=(x+5)²/6 + 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula to plug in the values you know:

√(y+1)² =√(x+5)² +( y-2)²

the square roots cancel out

(y+1) ²= (x+5)² +(y-2)²

(y+1) (y-1)= (x+5)² + (y-2) (y-2)

y²+2y+1= (x+5)² + y² -4y+4

the y² cancel out

2y+ 4y = (x+5)² + 4-1

6y= (x+5)² +3

y= (x+5)² /6+ 1/3
