Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 26, 20, and 80.

What is an expression?

An expression is a way of writing a statement with more than two variables or numbers with operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Example: 2 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression.

We have,

Threenumbers:

First = a

Second = b

Third = c

Now,

a + b + c = 126 ____(1)

c = 4b ____(2)

b = a - 6 _____(3)

From (1), (2), and (3) we get,

a + (a - 6) + 4b = 126

a + a - 6 + 4b = 126

2a + 4b = 126 + 6

2a + 4b = 132

2a + 4(a - 6) = 132

2a + 4a - 24 = 132

6a = 132 + 24

6a = 156

a = 26

Now,

a = 26

b = a - 6 = 20

c = 4b = 4 x 20 = 80

Thus,

The numbers are 26, 20, and 80.

Lets define a=1st number, b=2nd number, and c=3rd number

We know that a+b+c=126

We also know that the second number is 6 more than the first, so we can represent this as b=a+6

We also know that the third number is 3 times the first which can be represented as c=3a

We can plug these new values into our original equation and get:

a+(a+6)+(3a)=126

2a+6+3a=126 COMBINE LIKE TERMS

5a+6=126

5a=120

a=24

Our first number is 24.

Our second number is 6 more than our first number, so the second number is 24+6=30

Our third number is 3 times the first number, so the third number is 3(24)=72

We can check by plugging these numbers in for a, b, and c in our original equation

a+b+c=126

24+30=72=126

126=126

What is equal to the expression square root of 40/2

Answers

First you would simplify what's in the square root, to get root 20. If you want the exact number, and not the approximation, you would take out whatever squares are in that number (20=2*2*5) so your answer is 2root5.

However, if you want the approximation, simply plug it into your calculator and get 4.18154055.
