In a geometric progression:
a, b, c, d...
The common ratio can be obtained using:
b/a = c/b = d/c
b/a = 112 / 64 = 1.75
c/b = 196 / 112 = 1.75
d/c = 343 / 196 = 1.75
The common ratio = 1.75

The prices of commodities X,Y,Z are respectively x, y, z, rupees per unit. Mr. A purchases 4 units of Z and sells 3 units of X a

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

$(x,y,z)=(1477, 1464, 1437)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the selling of the units positive earning and the purchasing of the units negative earning.

<h3>Case-1:</h3>

Mr. A purchases 4 units of Z and sells 3 units of X and 5 units of Y
Mr.A earns Rs6000

So, the equation would be

$3x + 5y - 4z = 6000$

<h3>Case-2:</h3>

Mr. B purchases 3 units of Y and sells 2 units of X and 1 units of Z
Mr B neither lose nor gain meaning he has made 0₹

hence,

$2x - 3y + z = 0$

<h3>Case-3:</h3>

Mr. C purchases 1 units of X and sells 4 units of Y and 6 units of Z
Mr.C earns 13000₹

therefore,

$- x + 4y + 6z = 13000$

Thus our system of equations is

$\begin{cases}3x + 5y - 4z = 6000\\2x - 3y + z = 0\\ - x + 4y + 6z = 13000\end{cases}$

<u>Solving </u><u>the </u><u>system </u><u>of </u><u>equations</u><u>:</u>

we will consider elimination method to solve the system of equations. To do so ,separate the equation in two parts which yields:

$\begin{cases}3x + 5y - 4z = 6000\\2x - 3y + z = 0\end{cases}\\\begin{cases}2x - 3y + z = 0\\ - x + 4y + 6z = 13000\end{cases}$

Now solve the equation accordingly:

$\implies\begin{cases}11x-7y=6000\\-13x+22y=13000\end{cases}$

Solving the equation for x and y yields:

$\implies\begin{cases}x= \dfrac{223000}{151}\\\\y= \dfrac{221000}{151}\end{cases}$

plug in the value of x and y into 2x - 3y + z = 0 and simplify to get z. hence,

$\implies z= \dfrac{217000}{151}$

Therefore,the prices of commodities X,Y,Z are respectively approximately 1477, 1464, 1437

What kind of angles are they

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Alternate Interior Angles

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are on opposite sides of the transversal and are in between the parallel lines. This means they are alternate Interior Angles. Additionally, this means they are congruent, so 15x=12x+15, which gives us x=5, and the measurements of the angles are 75° each.
