Answer:

The value of x, y and z is 5, 15 and 30 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x, second number be y and third number be z

Here, The sum of three numbers is 50

x + y + z = 50 ...(1)

The second number is three times the first number

y = 3x ...(2)

The third number is twice the second number

z = 2y ...(3)

Here, we know that y = 3x from equation (2). So, put this value in equation (3)

z = 2y

z = 2(3x)

z = 6x ...(4)

Here, y = 3x and z = 6x then put this in equation (1)

x + y + z = 50

x + 3x + 6x = 50

10x = 50

10x/10 = 50/10

x = 5

Here, The value of x is 5

So,

y = 3x

y = 3(5) = 15

z = 6x = 6(5) = 30

Thus, The value of x, y and z is 5, 15 and 30 respectively.

<h3><u>For </u><u>Verification</u>;</h3>

x + y + z = 50

5 + 15 + 30 = 50

50 = 50

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence Verified!

What is the equation of a horizontal line passing through the point (1, 14)?
Klio2033 [76]
The equation line passing through a point is understood to be parallel to the x-axis. In this case, the equation should be expressed as y = b where b is any number. Since y = 14 in the point (1,14), the equation of horizontal line passing through this point is y = 14.

Fiona is gathering signatures on a petition to save the Orangutans. If she gets 4 times the number of signatures that she has ri
Reika [66]

Answer: 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up equation

The total signatures she needs is 4 times as many as she has. From this we can create the equation (4n = total signatures)

We know that the total number of signatures is 8000, so plug this into the equation to get 4n = 8000

Solve for n

Now that we have an equation, we can solve for n by dividing both sides by 4

4n = 8000

n = 8000 / 4 = 2000

Final Answer

Fiona has collected 2000 signatures so far
