Cosα=x/L

x=Lcosα, we are told the ladder is 10ft and α=42.5 so

x=10cos42.5° ft

x≈7.37 ft (to nearest hundredth of a foot)

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$70.20

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to first find the cost per gallon of the gas.

The person in front bought 15 gals at $40.50. The price of each gallon will therefore be:

40.50 / 15 = $2.70

You need to buy 26 gallons. The cost will be:

26 * 2.70 = $70.20

You will spend $70.20.

100 POINTS HELP ASAP Linear Combination

notka56 [123]

Answer:

1) $x=\dfrac12$

2) $n = -3 \ \ \textsf{and} \ \ m = -4$

3) see below

4) A: 0 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 1</u>

$15-0.5(4x-2)+4x=17$

$\implies 15-2x+1+4x=17$

$\implies 2x+16=17$

$\implies 2x=1$

$\implies x=\dfrac12$

<u>Question 2</u>

$\textsf{rearrange} \ n=m+1 :$

$\implies -m=-n+1$

$\textsf{add equations} \ -m=-n+1 \ \textsf{and} \ m=2n+2:\\$

$\implies0=n+3$

$\implies n=-3$

$\textsf{substitute} \ \ n=-3 \ \ \textsf{into} \ \ m=n-1:$

$\implies m=-3-1$

$\implies m=-4$

<u>Question 3</u>

subtract the second equation from the first

divide both sides by -4

substitute found value for y into first equation

solve for x

<u>Question 4</u>

$3j=k$

$k=3j+1$

$\textsf{rearrange} \ 3j=k :$

$\implies -k=-3j$

$\textsf{add equations}\ -k=-3j \ \ \textsf{and}\ \ k=3j+1:$

$\implies 0=1$

Solution = A
