Answer:

Option C is correct

one hundred seventy-seven over eight

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation: one over eight (8x + 15) = 24

$\frac{1}{8}(8x+15) = 24$

Multiply both sides by 8 we have;

8x+15 =192

Subtract 15 from both sides we have;

$8x+15-15= 192-15$

Simplify:

8x = 177

Divide both sides by 8 we have;

$x = \frac{177}{8}$

Therefore, the value for x is, one hundred seventy-seven over eight

1: distribute the 1/8 to (8x+15). multiply 8 times 1/8 and 15 times 1/8. 1x+1.875.

2: Subtract 1.875 from both sides. x=22.125. which is equal to 177/8.

Answer:

26.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Law Of Cosines:

$cos(A)=\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}$

This should work for any side. This can generally be thought as:

$cos(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{sum of squares of two other sides-opposite side squared}}{\text{2 times the product of the other two sides}}$

If this is too confusing here's the formula for the other sides (which is essentially the same, just different variables)

$cos(B)=\frac{a^2+c^2-b^2}{2ac}$

$cos(C) =\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}$

Anyways now just plug in the known values into the equation

$cos(A)=\frac{4^2+6^2-3^2}{2(6)(4)}\\$

Square and multiply values

$cos(A)=\frac{16+36-9}{48}$

Add the values in the numerator

$cos(A)=\frac{43}{48}$

Take the inverse of cosine on both sides

$A=cos^{-1}(\frac{43}{48})$

calculate arccosine (inverse cosine) using a calculator

$A\approx 26.384$

Round to nearest tenth

$A\approx26.4$

The blank of a number says how many times to use that number ia a multiplication

Evgesh-ka [11]

I'm pretty sure the answer is exponent since it tells you how many times to multiply the number beside it by itself.

Example:

${3}^{4}$
It is NOT 3 × 4 = 12

It is 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 9 × 3 × 3 = 9 × 9 = 81
