You can set it up like this:

x + (3x - 5) = 119

Add 5 to both sides:

x + 3x = 124

Combine like terms:

4x = 124

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 31

So, one number is 31, and since the other is 5 less than three times that number, it's 31(3) - 5 = 88. To check, add the two (31 and 88) together, and sure enough, the answer is 119!

Hope this helped!! xx

A tennis ball travels at speed of 120 miles per hour.convert this rate to feet per second
Vanyuwa [196]
120\frac{mile}{hour}\\\\
1 \ mile=5280\ feet\\
1\ hour=3600\ seconds\\\\
120\frac{mile}{hour}=120*\frac{5280}{3600}=\frac{120*5280}{3600}=\frac{633600}{3600}=176\frac{feet}{second}\\\\
\boxed{120\frac{mile}{hour}=176\frac{feet}{second}}

Determine the measure of angle A, to the nearest degree.
Effectus [21]

Answer:

(a) 17°

(b) 78°

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) sin A= 0.2896

to calculate for "A" check for sin inverse of 0.2896

A= sin^-1(0.2896) = 16.83

to the nearest degree A= 17°

(b) tan A = 4.7046

A= tan^-1(4.7046)

A = 77.99

to the nearest degree A = 78°
