QuestionFind three numbers: one is 9 times the first, another is 100 more than the first, and their sum is 364. What are they?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. Let's denote the first number as xx. . The second number is9 times the first number, so we can denote it as 9x9x.
3. The third number is100 more than the first number, so we can denote it as x+100x +100.
4. The sum of the three numbers is364.

STEP 2

Now, we can write an equation based on the given information. The sum of the three numbers is equal to364.
x+9x+(x+100)=364x +9x + (x +100) =364

STEP 3

implify the equation by combining like terms.
11x+100=36411x +100 =364

STEP 4

Subtract100 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with xx.
11x=36410011x =364 -100

STEP 5

Calculate the right side of the equation.
11x=26411x =264

STEP 6

Divide both sides of the equation by11 to solve for xx.
x=26411x = \frac{264}{11}

STEP 7

Calculate the value of xx.
x=24x =24

STEP 8

Now that we have the value for xx, we can find the values of the other two numbers. The second number is times the first number.
x=×24x = \times24

STEP 9

Calculate the value of the second number.
9x=2169x =216

STEP 10

The third number is100 more than the first number.
(x+100)=24+100(x +100) =24 +100

STEP 11

Calculate the value of the third number.
(x+100)=124(x +100) =124The three numbers are24,216, and124.
