Let's call the three numbers a, b, and c.
Now we can turn the information we are given into equations.
The sum of the three numbers is 26:
a + b + c = 26
Twice the first (2 times a) minus the second (2 times a minus b) is 2 less than the third:
2a - b = c - 2
The third is the second minus three times the first:
c = b - 3a
Counting what we have here, we now have three equations and three variables: enough to solve the whole system of equations.
The third equation gives us c directly, so we can start there and substitute into the second equation:
2a - b = (b - 3a) - 2
2a + 3a = b + b - 2
5a = 2b - 2
Let's get one of these variables on its own so we can continue with the substitution:
5a + 2 = 2b
b = (5a + 2) / 2
Now we have c in terms of a and b, and b in terms of just a. So let's use the first equation and substitute to find out what a is:
a + b + c = 26
a + (5a + 2) / 2 + (b - 3a) = 26
a + (5/2)a + 1 + (5a + 2) / 2 - 3a = 26
7/2a + 1 + 5/2a + 1 - 3a = 26
12/2a + 2 - 3a = 26
6a - 3a = 26 - 2
3a = 24
a = 8
At last, we have solved for one of the variables. Now, plug this into the equation for b to find b:
b = (5a + 2) / 2 = (5(8) + 2) / 2 = (40 + 2) / 2 = 42 / 2 = 21
Now we have a and b. Time to find c!
a + b + c = 26
(8) + (21) + c = 26
29 + c = 26
c = 26 - 29
c = -3
<span>So our values for a, b, and c are 8, 21, and -3.</span>
The horizontal distance from A to the point = 3/10 * 14 = 4.2, so the c coordinate of the point is -3+ 4.2
= 1.2.
Vertical distance = 3/10 * 12 = 3.6
So the y coordinate = -5+ 3.6
= -1.4.
Answer is (1.2, -1.4)
Answer: A
Step by step: None
Answer: Yes, the set of real numbers is closed under addition.
Explanation:
Let x and y be two real numbers. Their sum x+y is some other real number. This is what it means when we say the set of real numbers is closed under addition. Taking any two numbers and adding them will get us some other real number.
There is no way to have x+y be nonreal while x,y are both real.
Answer:
B. Doubled
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to find the circumference of the circle is
Now our problem says that the radius is doubled. Hence the new radius is 2r
Hence the new circumference will be
Hence our circumference gets doubled.
