Answer:

7 & 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

2nd number = 8 less than 3 times the other

2nd number = 3x - 8

Their sum = 20

X + 3x - 8 = 20

4x -8 = 20

Collect like terms

4x = 20+8

4x = 28

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 28/4

X = 7

First number = 7

2nd number = 3x - 8

= 3(7) - 8

= 21 -8

= 13.

Therefore the numbers are 7 and 13

Find B round to the nearest tenth!!!! laws of cosines!!!!​
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

32.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for law of cosines, for this question we need so solve for angle B, so use...

b² = a² + c² - 2(a)(c)Cos B

We are given a, b, and c, so plug them in...

55² = 90² + 50² - 2(90)(50)Cos B

Now simplify...

3,025 = 8100 + 2500 - (9000)Cos B

   -7,575 = -(9000)Cos B   (subtract 8100 and 2500 from both sides)    

            0.841666667 = Cos B    (divide both sides by -9000)

       Cos^(-1) 0.841666667 = B  (use cosine inverse function on calculator)

Soulotion to equation if y is =15 when x=2 ,find y when x=8
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The value of y for x = 8 is 60  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression as :

For x = 2  , y = 15

Let the equation be written with constant k'

So, y = k x

Or, k = \dfrac{y}{x}

∴   k =  \dfrac{15}{2}

<u>Now, again </u>

For x = 8

equation can be written as

   y = k x

Or,  y =  \dfrac{15}{2} × 8

Or,  y = \frac{15\times 8}{2}

∴    y = 15 × 4

I.e  y = 60

Hence The value of y for x = 8 is 60  . Answer
