I think we have to use Pythagorean Therom here
a² + b² = c²
First we need to know the height of the Triangle (which is YT)
Let "b" be the height YT:
22² + b² = 77²
484 + b² = 5929
b² = 5929 - 484 = 5445
√b² = √(5445)
b = √5445 = 73.79ft
Now that we have the height lets find the missing base(YK):
We are going to use the same formula, but this time to find the base and with a different triangle.
a² + 73.79² = 87.5²
a² + 5444.96 = 7656.25
a² = 7656.25 - 5444.96
a² = 2211.29
√a² = √(2211.29)
a = √2211.29 = 47.02
Now we can add the bases together to find x.
Bases "VY" and "YK"
x = 22+47
x = 69

Without sketching the graph solve -6-x>10

kompoz [17]

Answer:

x < -16

Step-by-step explanation:

-6-x>10

adding 6 in both sides:

-6-x+6 > 10+6

-x > 16

If you want to remove the negative sign from x, you'll have to change the inequality sign.

x < - 16

Hope this helps.

The little Mexican restaurant sells only two kinds of beef burritos mucho beef sandwich Lucho beef last week the restaurant orde

Finger [1]

Answer:

Cost of a single Mucho beef burrito: $\$5.5$

Cost of a double Mucho beef burrito: $\$6.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The exercise is: "The Little Mexican restaurant sells only two kinds of beef burritos: Mucho beef and Mucho Mucho beef. Last week in the restaurant sold 16 orders of the single Mucho variety and 22 orders of the double Mucho. If the restaurant sold $231 Worth of beef burritos last week and the single neutral kind cost $1 Less than the double Mucho, how much did each type of burrito cost?"</h3>

Let be "x" the the cost in dollars of a single Mucho beef burrito and "y" the cost in dollars of a double Mucho burrito.

Set a system of equations:

$\left \{ {{16x+22y=231} \atop {x=y-1}} \right.$

To solve this system you can apply the Substitution Method:

1. Substitute the second equation into the first equation and solve for "y":

$16(y-1)+22y=231\\\\16y-16+22y=231\\\\38y=231+16\\\\y=\frac{247}{38}\\\\y=6.5$

2. Substitute the value of "y" into the second equation and evaluate in order to find the value of "x":

$x=6.5-1\\\\x=5.5$

Which function describes the arithmetic sequence shown?

Lynna [10]

f(x)= -2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let the sequence given here is -5, -7, -9, -11, -13 ......

Here the first term (a₁) of sequence is -5

And the common difference between the numbers in the sequence is

d= (-7-(-5)) = -7+5 = -2

Let the number of terms be x

Step 2;

To find the sequence function basic arithmetic sequence formula is

aₙ = a₁ + d( x-1)

Applying the values we get

f(X) = -5 + ((-2)(X-1))

on simplification

f(X) = -5 + (-2X+2)

f(X)= -5+2-2X

f(X)= -3-2X
