Answer:
x = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
6 - 2/9x = 8
Subtract 6 from each side
6-6 - 2/9x = 8-6
-2/9 x = 2
Multiply each side by -9/2 to isolate x
-9/2 * -2/9x = 2*-9/2
x = -9
For the answer to the question above, this is a right triangle problem using the tangent function.
<span>Tan(x) = Opposite (O) / Adjacent (A) </span>
<span>x = 40 degrees </span>
<span>A = 30 ft </span>
<span>Solve for O </span>
<span>O= Tan (x) * A </span>
<span>O = Tan (40) * 30 </span>
<span>Use your calculator or whatever method to get the tangent of 40 degrees (which is .84) </span>
<span>O = .84 * 30 </span>
<span>O = 25.2 Ft</span>
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
When dividing numbers by fractions, we can simply multiply the umber by the reciprocal of the decimal. So,
4 ÷ 1/5 = 4 × (reciprocal of 1/5)
A reciprocal of a number is the same number written under 1. aka, 1 divided by that number, which simply is flipping the numerator and denominator of a number.
So the reciprocal of 1/5 is 5/1 = 5.
So 4 ÷ 1/5 = 4 × 5.
So your answer is 5.
