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

In Exercise,find the balance in the account after 10 years.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer: The balance in the account after 10 years is $3374.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation for growth [ compounded continuously] is

y=pe^{rt}

, where P= Present value

r= growth rate  ( in decimal)

t= time (years)

By considering the given information , we have

p=$2500  r = % =0.03  and t= 10

Substitute all the values in the above equation , we get

y=2500e^{0.03(10)}

y=2500e^{0.3}

y=2500(1.3498588)=3374.64701894\approx3374.65  [Round to the nearest cent]

Therefore, the balance in the account after 10 years is $3374.65

Which expression is equivalent to 1/3b+2/3b−5/6(b+1)?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
First convert -5/6(b+1) to -5/6b-5/6 which looks like:
1/3b+2/3b-5/6b-5/6
second add 1/3b+2/3b=3/3b, convert to 6/6b so:
6/6b-5/6b-5/6
subtract 6/6b-5/6b = 1/6b so:
1/6b-5/6 is the answer
