Answer:

E = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y - x = 4

y - (3y) = 4

y - 3y = 4

2y = 4

y = 4/2

y = 2

x = 3y

x = 3×2

x = 6

x + y = 2+6

x+y = 8

Long leg = 8 → opposite
short leg = 6 → adjacent
hypotenuse = ?

8² + 6² = c²
64 + 36 = c²
100 = c²
√100 = √c²
10 = c

sin ∠BOC = opposite / hypotenuse
sin ∠BOC = 8 / 10
sin ∠BOC = 0.80

tan ∠BOC = opposite / adjacent
tan ∠BOC = 8 / 6
tan ∠BOC = 1.33

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of bananas I ate be x.

Number of apples = 2x.

Number of blueberries = 3x.

So we have the equation:

x + 2x +3x = 12

6x = 12

x = 2.

So I ate 2 bananas, 4 apples and 6 blueberries.
