Part a: sam rented a boat at $225 for 2 days. if he rents the same boat for 5 days, he has to pay a total rent of $480. write an equation in the standard form to represent the total rent (y) that sam has to pay for renting the boat for x days. (4 points)

Three numbers x, y, and z are in the ratio 2: 7: 8. if 12 is subtracted from y, then three numbers form a geometric sequence (in the order x, y–12, z). find x, y, and z. there are 2 sets.
