Answer:

1st number: 20

2nd number: 25

3rd number: 75

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = 120

x = y - 5

z = 3y

plug that in!

(y-5) + y + (3y) = 120

remove the parenthesis (I used them to show you what I was replacing), and add like terms.

5y - 5 = 120

move -5 to the other side

5y = 120 + 5

5y = 125

divide both sides by 5

y = 25

now that you have one number, use the equations from before to solve for the rest!

x = (25) - 5

z = 3(25)

_____________________________________________________

x = 20

y = 25

z = 75

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

17) 26

18) 66

19) 78

20) 145

Step-by-step explanation:

#17) 8 + 3n for n = 6

8 + 3*(6)

8 + 18 = 26

#18) (8 + 3)n for n = 6

(8 + 3)*6

(11)*6 = 66

#19) 90 - 4d for d = 3

90 - 4*(3)

90 - 12 = 78

#20) 7x + 2y for x = 15, y = 20

7*(15) + 2*(20) = 145
