Hi there!

Here we go:

-5 + a = -10

Add 5 to each side of the equation

a = -5

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

Add -5 to -10
a= -10
+5

and you will get -5

a= -5

A company has two types of machines, type R and type S. Operating at a constant rate, a machine of type R does a certain job in

SashulF [63]

Answer:

The number of machines to complete job in 2 hours is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the relation of the rate of each one machine and knowing that adding up both rates.

$Rate R +Rate S= Rate total$

Rate R = $\frac{x}{36}$ 'x' is the job

Rate S = $\frac{x}{18}$ 'x' is the job

So, using the equation of rates

$Rate total =\frac{x}{36} + \frac{x}{18}$

Rate total is going to be a job in 2 hours so = $\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{36}+\frac{x}{18}$ adding up

$\frac{1}{2}= x*\frac{3}{36}$ factoring the x

$\frac{1}{2}= x*\frac{1}{12}$ simplifying

x= $\frac{12}{2} \\$

x= 6

The angle of elevation to the top of a water tower from point A on the ground is 19.9°. From point B, 50.0 feet closer to the to

zepelin [54]

Answer:

Answer in terms of a trigonometric function :

$h = \frac{20tan(19.9)}{0.4-tan(19.9)}$

Answer in figures

$h = 190.5 feet$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the sketch attached below to better understand the problem.

Let x be the distance between point B and the base of the water tower.

$tan (19.9)=\frac{h}{50+x} ---------------equation 1\\$

$tan (21.8)=\frac{h}{x}----------------equation 2$

From equation 2,

$x =\frac{h}{tan21.8}=\frac{h}{0.4}$

substituting the value of x into equation 1, we get

$tan (19.9)=\frac{h}{50+(\frac{h}{0.4} )}$

$tan 19.9=h\times \frac{0.4}{20+h}$

cross multiplying,

$20\times tan(19.9) +htan(19.9)=0.4h$

$20tan(19.9)= h(0.4-tan(19.9))$

$h= \frac{20tan (19.9)}{0.4-tan (19.9)}$

The height of the tower is $h= \frac{20tan (19.9)}{0.4-tan (19.9)}$ in terms of the trig function "Tan"

The equation can simply be evaluated to get the answer in figures since the angles are given in the question
