Mount everest (Himalayas) and mount elbert (rocky mountains)
1. the answer is 24. think of x as the original amount, and y as the new amount. y times 1.5 is x, and y+12 is x. reverse that to figure out y, which is what we need, and you have x/1.5 = y as well as x-12 = y. Use the equal values method and make an equation x/1.5=x-12. solve this equation to get x, which is 36. to figure out the new amount, y, you need to subtract 12, which would help you get 24 as your final answer.
2. once again, create an equation. let's call team 1 x and team 2 y. team one has 1/4th as many as team 2, so that would be x=1/4y. An easier way to write that is 4x=y. after 6 people quit team two, that would be y-6. after the transfer, that would be y-6-12, and x+12 for the teams. they are equal after these, so y-6-12=x+12. solve this equation to get y-18= x+12. if you recall earlier, y was 4 times x, so substitute that into y to get 4x-18=x+12. Solve the equation to get 10 people on team one originally. your final answer is 10 people.
Answer:
5.1x - 1.49y
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to add or substract like terms.
like terms are the terms that have the same variable, in this case:
3.27x and 1.83x are like terms, and adding them we get:
3.27x + 1.83x = 5.1x (you add only the coefficients and the x stays the same)
we do the same for the terms with 'y':
1.28y and −2.77y are like terms, but in this case we must substract because of the − sign:
1.28y −2.77y = -1.49y
the final answer is the conjunction of the two results that we obtained:
5.1x - 1.49y
Cosecant = hypotenuse / opposite side ( that is 1 / sine)
csc C = AC / 8
AC = sqrt (6^2 + 8^2) = sqrt 100 = 10
so cosecant of C is 10/8 = 1.25
