Collect like terms: 5x - 2 + 3

Then add 2 to both sided to isolate 5x: 5x = 5

sin33/x = sin90/14

cross multiply

xsin90 = 14sin33

Divide bothside by sin90

x = 14sin33 / sin90

Answer:

$\text{Average rate}=\frac{\text{40 laps}}{\text{ hour}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

Sebastian swan laps every day in the community swimming pool. He swam 45 minutes each day, 5 days each week, for 12 weeks. In that time, he swam 1800 laps. What was his average rate in laps per hour?

Let us convert time taken into hours as:

$\text{Days}=5\times 12=60$

$\text{Minutes}=60\times 45$

1 hour = 60 minutes. To convert minutes into hours, we will divide total minutes by 60.

$\text{Hours}=\frac{60\times 45}{60}=45$

Now, we will divide 1800 by 45 to find average rate in laps per hour as:

$\text{Average rate}=\frac{\text{1800 laps}}{\text{45 hours}}$

$\text{Average rate}=\frac{\text{40 laps}}{\text{ hour}}$

Therefore, Sebastian's average rate is 40 laps per hour.

On Monday you sent x number of text messages. On Tuesday you sent twice as many. On Wednesday you sent 12 more texts than you se

kykrilka [37]

Answer: Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Tuesday = 2x

Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Wednesday = 12+2x

Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Thursday = x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of text messages sent on Monday = x

On Tuesday, Number of text messages sent = 2 (Number of messages sent on Monday)

= 2 x

On Wednesday, Number of text messages sent = 12+ (Number of messages sent on Tuesday)

= 12 +2x

On Thursday, Number of text messages sent = $\dfrac12(2x+12)$

= x+6

Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Tuesday = 2x

Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Wednesday = 12+2x

Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Thursday = x+6
