Let
One Number = x
Second Number =x-10
Third Number=x/2

Sum of three numbers is 50
x+x-10+x/2=50
2x-10+x/2=50
Multiply by 2 both sides
2*(2x-10+x/2)=50*2

4x-20+x=100
5x=100+20
5x=120
x=120/5
x=24

One number = x=24
Second number =x-10=24-10=14
Third number= x/2=24/2= 12

Alexandra and Stephanie are sisters, and they're saving their money to buy a used car. Together they have more than $2,500, and
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Stephanie has more than $900

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the unknowns:  a for Alexandra and s for Stephanie.

Then a + s > $2,500, and a = s + $700.

Substituting the latter into the former equation, we get:

(s + $700) + s > $2,500, or

2s > $1800

Then s > $900; Stephanie has more than $900.

The sum of an infinite geometric series is 1,280, while the first term of the series is 160. What is the common ratio of the ser
Arlecino [84]
The sum is 160/(1-r)=1280 where r is the common ratio,
1/(1-r)=1280/160=8
Inverting we get 1-r=1/8, r=7/8.

usa el teorema de la altura para proponer como se podria construir un segmento cuya longitud sea media proporcional entre dos se
Mrac [35]
Usando el teorema de altura 

El teorema de altura relaciona la altura (h) de un triángulo rectángulo (ver figura) y los catetos de dos triángulos que son semejantes al anterior ABC, al trazar la altura (h) sobre la hipotenusa. De manera que e<span>n todo </span>triángulo rectángulo, la altura (h<span>) relativa a la </span>hipotenusa<span> es la </span>media geométrica<span> de las dos proyecciones de los </span>catetos<span> sobre la </span>hipotenusa<span> (</span>n<span> y </span>m<span>). Es decir, se cumple que:

</span>\frac{n}{h}= \frac{h}{m}

Dado que el problema establece <span>construir un segmento cuya longitud sea media proporcional entre dos segmentos de 4 y 9 cm, entonces, digamos que n = 4cm y m = 9cm tenmos que:

</span>\frac{4}{h}= \frac{h}{9}

De donde:

h= \sqrt{(4)(9)}=\sqrt{36}=6cm

¿Cómo se podria construir si los segmentos son de a cm y b cm?

Si los segmentos son de a y b cm entonces a y b son parámetros que pueden tomar cualquier valor positivo siempre que se cumpla que:

h= \sqrt{ab}
