Thanks for posting your question here. The answer to the above problem is x = <span>48.125. Below is the solution:
</span>
 x+x/7+1/11(x+x/7)=60 
x = x/1 = x • 7/7
x <span>• 7 + x/ 7 = 8x/7 - 60 = 0
</span>x + x/7 + 1/11 <span>• 8x/7 - 60 = 0
</span>8x <span>• 11 + 8x/ 77 = 96x/ 77
</span>96x - 4620 = 12 <span>• (8x-385)
</span>8x - 385 = 0
x = 48.125

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

x = 48.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  x+\frac{x}{7}+ \frac{1}{11}(x+\frac{x}{7})=60

We have to solve for x,

Consider the given expression x+\frac{x}{7}+ \frac{1}{11}(x+\frac{x}{7})=60

First solving for brackets, we get,

x+\frac{x}{7}=\frac{7x+x}{7}=\frac{8x}{7}

Put , we get,

x+\frac{x}{7}+ \frac{1}{11}(\frac{8x}{7})=60

Simplify, we have,

x+\frac{x}{7}+(\frac{8x}{77})=60

Taking LCM(7,77) = 77

We have,

\frac{77x+11x+8x}{77}=60

Simplify, we have,

\frac{96x}{77}=60

Multiply both side by 77, we have,

96x = 60 \times 77

96x =4620

Divide both side by 96, we have,

x=\frac{4620}{96}=48.125

Thus, x = 48.125

Option (a) is correct.

A 35 pound dog eats an average of 2 1/2 cups of dry dog food a day. If you assume that there is a relationship between size and
zimovet [89]
70 / 35 = 2
So the 70 pound dog weights double the weight of the 35 pound dog, so he will eat twice as much.

2 x 2.5 = 5 cups

Meaning he will eat 5 cups of dry dog food a day.

By the same logic a 140 pound dog would have to eat twice what a 70 pound dog eats, that is 10 cups of dry dog food a day, so 7 1/2 cups are not enough.

Challenge: per pound a dog eats more than a cat. Since you know a 140 pound dog eats 10 cups, you can dive 140 by 10, to find out that each cup feeds 14 pounds, so half a cup would be the amount of food to feed a 7 pound dog, meaning that a dog weighing 1 pound less than a 8 pound cat would need the same amount of food, so it eats more than a cat.

Can someone please help me out :))

Answer:

sin(T)

cos(C)

Step-by-step explanation:

sine goes up or down for angles in the circle.

cosine goes left or right for angles in the circle.

consider a circle with is center at T, and it goes through C (so, the radius is 25 = TC).

then 7 = sin(T)×25

24 = cos(T)×25

so, sin(T) = 7/25

then, sin(T) = cos(90-T)

and the angle at C = 90-T.

therefore, cos(C)=sin(T)=7/25

tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)

and that would lead here always to a 7/24 or 24/7 ratio.

so, no tan function is right.
