Answer is 84 miles
You can use the y intercept method of solving this
Y= mx + b
Y is your total cost 55.20
M is your slope or rate of .30/1 mile
B is your intercept or starting point $30
So fill in your known numbers
55.20 = .30x + $30
Isolate x by subtracting $30 from both sides
55.20 - 30 = .30x + 30 - 30
25.20 = .30x
Now solve for x by dividing both sides by .30
25.20 / .30 = 84 miles

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:

Let's take this problem step-by-step:

Let's consider the information given:

rental price: $30 + $0.30/mile
total bill for Ken: $55.20

Let's setup an equation for the cost

set 'x' as number of miles traveled

$\hookrightarrow Cost = 30 + 0.3x$

set that equal to the total cost or bill and solve

$30 + 0.3x = 55.2\\0.3x = 25.2\\x=84$

Ken must have traveled 84 miles

Answer: 84 miles

Hope that helps!

Answer:

The total is: 74$

Step-by-step explanation:

1.50$ times 40 equals 60. Then you have to add up the cost you usually get per month which is 14$. 60 plus 14$ = 74$

The cosine of 23° is equivalent to the sine of what angle

Archy [21]

Answer:

So 67 degrees is one value that we can take the sine of such that is equal to cos(23 degrees).

(There are more values since we can go around the circle from 67 degrees numerous times.)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use a co-function identity.

The co-function of sine is cosine just like the co-function of cosine is sine.

Notice that cosine is co-(sine).

Anyways co-functions have this identity:

$\cos(90^\circ-x)=\sin(x)$

$\sin(90^\circ-x)=\cos(x)$

You can prove those drawing a right triangle.

I drew a triangle in my picture just so I can have something to reference proving both of the identities I just wrote:

The sum of the angles is 180.

So 90+x+(missing angle)=180.

Let's solve for the missing angle.

Subtract 90 on both sides:

x+(missing angle)=90

Subtract x on both sides:

(missing angle)=90-x.

So the missing angle has measurement (90-x).

So cos(90-x)=a/c

and sin(x)=a/c.

Since cos(90-x) and sin(x) have the same value of a/c, then one can conclude that cos(90-x)=sin(x).

We can do this also for cos(x) and sin(90-x).

cos(x)=b/c

sin(90-x)=b/c

This means sin(90-x)=cos(x).

So back to the problem:

cos(23)=sin(90-23)

cos(23)=sin(67)

So 67 degrees is one value that we can take the sine of such that is equal to cos(23 degrees).

Solve the system or linear equations

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

37. {-1, -1}.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll solve the first one . The other can be solved in a similar way. We can use the method of elimination.

x1 - x2 = 0

3x1 - 2x2 = -1

We can multiply the first equation by -2. We then have an equation containing + 2x2 so when we add this to the second equation the 2x2 will be eliminated

So the first equation becomes:

-2x1 + 2x2 = 0 Bring down the second equation:

3x1 - 2x2 = -1 Now adding, we get:

x1 + 0 = -1

so x1 = -1.

Now we substitute this value of x1 in the original first equation:

-1 - x2 = 0

-1 = x2

x2 = -1.

So the solution set is {-1, -1}.

If there are more than 2 equations you can use a combination of substitutions and eliminations.

Just learn this throughout a quick lesson, can someone help?

suter [353]

Answer:

The Pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2 where c is the length of the longest, diagonal side (diagonal means opposite the right angle/small square).

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're looking for a short side (i.e. next to the right angle), square the longest one and subtract the square of the other known.

If you're looking for a long side (i.e. opposite the right angle), square both you know and add them together.

In both cases, take the Square Root with your calculator, or by trial and error, find a number that squares to make your current number.
