The sum of three numbers is 91. the third number is 2 times the first. the first number is 7 less than the second. what are the numbers?

Answers

Answer 1
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
So our values for a, b, and c are 8, 21, and -3.
Answer 2
Final answer:

To solve for three unknown numbers with given relationships, we set up algebraic equations. Using substitution, we find the three numbers by solving the linear system. The numbers are 21, 28, and 42.

Explanation:

The problem presented is a typical linear equation problem found in mathematics where we need to find the values of three unknown numbers with the given relationships between them. To find the three numbers, we set up algebraic equations based on the information provided. Let's denote the first number as x, the second number as y, and the third number as z.

According to the problem:

The sum of the three numbers is 91: x + y + z = 91.The third number is 2 times the first: z = 2x.The first number is 7 less than the second: x = y - 7.

Let's now use substitution to solve for the numbers. Substituting the value of x from the third equation into the second equation, we get z = 2(y - 7). Plugging the expressions for x and z back into the first equation, we have y - 7 + y + 2(y - 7) = 91. Simplifying this equation gives us 4y - 21 = 91, which solves to y = 28. Using y = 28, we find x = 21 and z = 42.

Therefore, the three numbers are 21, 28, and 42.

It's 13.23

Answer:

The answer is 13.23

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the median of the set of data, we have to know about median and how applicate it.

The median of a set of data is the middlemost number in the set. The median is also the number that is halfway into the set. To find the median, the data should first be arranged in order from least to greatest.

Also, if there is an even number of items in the data set, then the median is found by taking the mean (average) of the two middlemost numbers.

So, we arrange the set of data:

11.20

12.50

12.50

13.23

13.23

14.50

15.60

15.75

The data set is an even number.

The two middlemost numbers are: 13.23; 13.23.

So, the mean (average) is:

(13.23+13.23)/2=13.23

Finally, the median of the set of data is 13.23

Answer is A

This is a geometric sequence because dividing any term by the previous term results in a constant called the common ratio.  Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:

a(n)=ar^(n-1), a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term number.

The common ratio,r, is -16/8=32/-16=-64/32=-2, and the first term, a, is 8

So the rule for this sequence is:

a(n)=8(-2)^(n-1), so the 13th term is:

a(13)=8(-2^12)

a(13)=32768

The graph shows the location of Grant's, Hannah's, and Isobel's houses. Each unit on the graph represents 1 block. A coordinate plane graph is shown. Grants house is located at negative 4 comma 3. Hannahs house is located at 1 comma 3. Isobels house is located at 1 comma negative 4. If Grant walks from his house to Isobel's house, then on to Hannah's house along the path shown, how far will he have walked in blocks? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

so grant's to Isabelle's is 8.6 blocks, then from there to hannah's house, which is 7 blocks....so he walks a total of 8.6 + 7 = 15.6 blocks




The total distance covered in the graph from Grant to Isobel's house and Isobel's house to Hannah's house is 15.06.

What is a graph?

A graph is a diametrical representation of any function between the dependent and independent variables.

For example y = x² form a parabola now by looking at only the graph we can predict that it has only a positive value irrespective of the interval of x.

As per the given coordinate has been drawn in the graph below,

The locus of the path from Grant's house to Isobel's house and then Hannah's house is making a right-angle triangle.

By Pythagoras' theorem,

Distance from Grant's house to Isobel's house ⇒

√(4² + 7²) = 8.06

The distance from Isobel's house to Hannah's house ⇒ 3 + | -4| = 7

Therefore, 8.06 + 7 = 15.06.

Hence "The total distance covered in the graph from Grant to Isobel's house and Isobel's house to Hannah's house is 15.06".

Find the measures of an interior angle and an exterior angle of a regular polygon with 6 sides.

Answers

The sum of the external angles of a polygon is always 360°

To find the measure of one angle, the formula is 360/n where n is the number of the sides of the polygon.

360/6 = 60°

The sum of all internal angles of a polygon can be find with the formula (n-2)*180° where n is the number of the sides. In this case 180(6-2) = 180*4 = 720°

To find one internal angle, follow this formula [180(n-2)] / n = [720/6] = 120°

Anyway, you can pick a vertex and from that vertex start to draw diagonals.

There will be some triangles, the sum of all internal angles of a triangle is 180°. In a polygon, the sum of all internal angles equals to the sum of all internal angles of all the triangles.

Hope I'm clear.
Final answer:

The interior angle of a regular hexagon is 120 degrees, and the exterior angle is 60 degrees.

Explanation:

To find the measures of an interior angle and an exterior angle of a regular polygon with 6 sides, we will use the fact that the sum of interior angles of a polygon is given by (n-2)×180°, where 'n' is the number of sides of the polygon. Thus, a regular hexagon will have its interior angles sum to (6-2)×180° = 720°. Since all interior angles in a regular polygon are equal, each interior angle will be 720° ÷ 6 = 120°. The exterior angle of a regular polygon is calculated as 360° ÷ n. Therefore, an exterior angle of a regular hexagon will be 360° ÷ 6 = 60°.

So, the interior angle of a regular hexagon is 120°, and the exterior angle is 60°.

The base angles C and D are congruent because this is an isosceles trapezoid. In addition, angle A = angle B because this is another pair of base angles (imagine rotating the figure 180 degrees to make segment AB the base)

Answer:

The reason why any angles coming out from D and C are congruents is  because of the geometry coungruence's concept of 2 items having the same pattern, shape or form and size as the mirror image of the other.

2 angles would be congruent by being the same angle in degrees or radians.

Thereby any angle coming out from C as vertex would be congruent with any other vertex point angle mirroring the resulting figure shaped by the radiants or degrees of such angle.

Which shows the graph of the solution set of 3y – 2x > –18? Mark this and return

Answers

When you are asked to graph an inequality, you would expect a graph with a shaded region. This is because the curve or line does not actually have those data points as the solution. It is the data points above or below the curve or line.

First, you disregard the inequality to graph the equation. Find the x- and y-intercepts, plot them, and connect these two dots by extending infinitely from both sides.

x-intercept: let y = 0
0 - 2x = -18
x = 9
y-intercept: let x = 0
3y- 0 = -18
y = -6.

The graph is shown in the picture. Next, you test the inequality by choosing a random data point that does not coincide with any of the data points passed by the line. Suppose, we choose the origin (0,0)

3y- 2x > -18
3(0) - 2(0) > -18
0 > 18

The inequality is true for (0,0), Thus, the shaded region must include this point. All of the region to the left bounded by the line is a solution. Note that the data points are hollow because they are not part of the solution because of the inequality '>'. If it were ≥, then those points would be solid.

Explanation:

When using Cramer's Rule to solve a system of equations, if the determinant of the coefficient matrix equals zero and neither numerator determinant is zero, then the system is inconsistent.

Cramer's Rule is a method applied in linear algebra to solve a system of linear equations. The rule states that the system is inconsistent if the determinant of the coefficient matrix is zero (meaning the equations do not intersect) but at least one of the numerator determinants are nonzero. This condition indicates that there's no solution to the system of equations.

On the contrary, if the determinant of the coefficient matrix is zero an all the numerator determinants are also zero, the system is said to be dependent, meaning it would have infinitely many solutions.

Answer:

B- closed circle on 8, shading to left.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an inequality [tex]x-3\leq 5[/tex]. We are asked to choose the correct description of the graph of the compound inequality.

Let us solve for x.

[tex]x-3+3\leq 5+3[/tex]

[tex]x\leq 8[/tex]

Since we have been given a less than or equal to sign, so we will have a solid dot at [tex]x=8[/tex].

Since the solutions for our given inequality are less than and equal to 8, so we will shade in all values of x that are to the left of 8.

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
