X = jane, y = jasmine, z = jocelyn
x + y + z = 56
x = 3z
y = 2z + 2
3z + 2z + 2 + z = 56
6z + 2 = 56
6z = 56 - 2
6z = 54
z = 54/6
z = 9 <==== jocelyn
x = 3z
x = 3(9)
x = 27 <=== jane
y = 2z + 2
y = 2(9) + 2
y = 18 + 2
y = 20 <=== jasmine
Answer:
The two numbers are 4 and -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Turn the words into equations: let's assign one number to be x and the other to be y
x+8=y
x*y=-16
To solve, substitute the value of y in the first equation into y in the second equation.
This gives x*(x+8)=-16
Simplifying gives x^2+8x=-16
x^2+8x+16=0
(x+4)^2=0
x=-4
plug this value of x back into the first equation, -4+8=y, y is 4
Now to make sure the answer is correct: 4 is 8 more than -4, and 4*-4 does equal 16
-8 x 217 = 1728
I believe this is correct
Answer:
1250 Kilometers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by finding the proper ratio of 5000:6. Now divide 6/1.5 to see what we need to divide 5000 by. 6/1.5 is 4. So divide 5000 by 4. This gives you an answer of 1250 kilometers.
Answer: Intercepting.
