A = 16. How did I get this? Well, 15/24 is a reducible fraction itself. When reducing the fraction 15/24, we divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 5/8. Now that we have 5/8 as our simplified fraction, the expression is:

10/a = 5/8

Because 10 divided by 2 equals 5, we could multiply 8 by 2 to get what our denominator that is missing would be. 8 x 2 = 16, so a = 16. 10/16 = 15/24.

Your final answer: a = 16

Let the <C=x

We know in a triangle

☆Sum of angles=180°

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 51+26+x=180$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 77+x=180$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=180-77$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=103°$

0.94=log x solve this equation for x round answer to the nearest hundredth

Lelechka [254]

The answer is 8.71.

In order to find the value of any logarithmic function, you can raise the base (10 by default, unless stated otherwise) to the answer (.94) to get the number (x).

So, 0.94 = log x is basically saying 10^.94 = x. And when you raise 10 to the .94 power, you get 8.71.
