The sum of three numbers is 20. the second number is 4 times the first, and the sum of the first and the third is 8. find the numbers.

The numbers are 3, 12 and 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers =x, y and z.

The sum of three numbers is 20 implies x+y+z=20i

The second number is 4 times the first implies y=4xii

The sum of the first and the third is 8 means x+z=8iii

from (i), z=20-x-yiv

Put (iv) in (iii),

x+20-x-y=8

20-y=8

y=20-8=12

y=12

Put y=12 in (ii)

4x=y

x=y/4 = 12/4 = 3

x=3

Put x=3 and y=12 in (iv)

z=20-3-12=5

z=5

Therefore, the numbers are 3, 12 and 5.

the correct answer is a) "catholic church".

the proposals that liberals in mexico made during 1855 were particularly focused on a person's individual rights, such as the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, freedom of assembly, and the right to possess weapons.

when the constitution was formally published 2 years later (1857). it also contained an article which permitted education free from any religious influence, the removal of the catholic church institutional privileges, and the sale of property belonging to the church. all of these provisions were clearly against the catholic church interests.
