The second of the three numbers is 4 times the first the third is 2 more than the second. If the second number is decreased by twice the third the result is 28 what are the three numbers

the three numbers = -8, -32, -30

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first number = a

let the second number = b

let the third number = c

From the first statement:  b = 4a

From the second statement: c = b + 2

From the third statement: b - 2c = 28

From the above equations, we can solve (1) and (2) together.

c = b + 2

b = c - 2

Also, b - 2c = 28

(c - 2) - 2c = 28

c - 2 - 2c = 28

-c = 30

c = -30

b = -30 - 2

  = -32

b = 4a

a = b/4

a = -32/4

a = -8

Therefore, the three numbers = -8, -32, -30

answer:

total cost for tiles and paints is $924.  

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given that a community hall is in the shape of a cuboid. the hall is 40m long 15m high and 3m wide.

the paint will be required for 4 walls and ceiling.

let us find area of walls and ceiling.

therefore, the area of walls and ceiling is 1410 square meters.

given: cost for 10 litre of paint is $10 and 10 litre paint covers 25 square meter. therefore,

therefore, the total painting cost is $564.

tiles will be required for floor. let us find the area of floor.

given: 1m squared floor tiles costs $3. so,

therefore, the total tiles cost is $360.

now let us find combined total cost of tiles and paint.

therefore, the combined total cost of tiles and paint is $924.

thus, the first answer choice, y = sec x, is the correct one
