8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

(1/3x-1/6y)×18=4×18 ⇒ 6x-3y=72

6x-ay=8 if a=3 ⇒ 6x-3y=8

72≠8

a=3 ⇒ system has no solution

Given three consecutive integers, if the sum of the first and third integers is increased by 8, the result is 5 less than triple

Dvinal [7]

We are looking for the value of the second integer, so let's mark it as X.

Then three consecutive integers are : (x-1) , x , (x+1)

The sum of the first and the third integers (X-1) + (X+1)

Five less than three times the second integer 3X - 5

Now we can write an equation and solve it for X

(X-1)+(X+1)= 3X - 5 simplifying left part

2X = 3X -5 subtract 2X from both sides

0 = X-5

X=5

SO THREE CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS ARE 4, 5, 6

julia-pushkina [17]

The reference angle is the smallest angle between the terminal side and the x-axis.

$(1)\ \theta = 300^o$

300 degrees is in the 4th quadrant.

So, the reference angle is

$\alpha = 360 - \theta$

$\alpha = 360 - 300$

$\alpha = 60^o$

Hence, the reference angle of 300 degrees is 60 degrees

$(2)\ \theta = 225^o$

225 degrees is in the 3rd quadrant.

So, the reference angle is

$\alpha = \theta - 180$

$\alpha = 225 - 180$

$\alpha = 45^o$

Hence, the reference angle of 225 degrees is 45 degrees

$(3)\ \theta = 480^o$

480 degrees is in the 2nd quadrant (i.e. 480 - 360 = 120)

So, the reference angle is

$\alpha = 180 - \theta$

$\alpha = 180 - 120$

$\alpha = 60^o$

Hence, the reference angle of 480 degrees is 60 degrees

$(2)\ \theta = -210^o$

-210 degrees is in the 2nd quadrant (i.e. 360 - 210 = 150)

So, the reference angle is

$\alpha = 180 - \theta$

$\alpha = 180 - 150$

$\alpha = 30^o$

Hence, the reference angle of -210 degrees is 30 degrees
