1. Problem Description

We are given that aa, bb, and cc are three real numbers such that 4ab+c=1124a - b + c = 112. Also, aa, bb, and cc are directly proportional to 1, 2, and 5, respectively. We need to find the values of aa, bb, and cc.

2. Solution Steps

Since aa, bb, and cc are directly proportional to 1, 2, and 5, we can write:
a=1ka = 1k
b=2kb = 2k
c=5kc = 5k
where kk is the constant of proportionality.
Substitute these values into the given equation:
4ab+c=1124a - b + c = 112
4(1k)(2k)+(5k)=1124(1k) - (2k) + (5k) = 112
4k2k+5k=1124k - 2k + 5k = 112
7k=1127k = 112
k=1127k = \frac{112}{7}
k=16k = 16
Now we can find the values of aa, bb, and cc:
a=1k=1(16)=16a = 1k = 1(16) = 16
b=2k=2(16)=32b = 2k = 2(16) = 32
c=5k=5(16)=80c = 5k = 5(16) = 80

3. Final Answer

a=16a = 16, b=32b = 32, c=80c = 80
