Adult weighs 12,500 pounds
it is 5 times heavier
baby = x
adult = 5x ( 5 times the weight of the baby)
12,500 = 5x
divide both sides by 5
x = 12500 / 5
x = 2500
the baby weights 2,500 pounds
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
first, we would set up an equation. let 3x-4 represent "four less than a number tripled". "a number" would be represented by x. let x+10 represent "the same number increased by 10".
set 3x-4 and x+10 equal to each other:
3x-4=x+10
next, we would solve this equation for x. first we would get the x together on one side of the equation. we would do this by subtracting x from both sides to remove it from the right side of the equation:
2x-4=10
then, we would get the 2x by itself. we would do this by adding 4 to both sides:
2x=14
finally, we would divide each side of the equation by 2 to find x:
x=7.
The number is 7.
The answer is 14 dollars because 56 divided by 4 gives 14
Answer:
a = √11 and b = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer to attached picture for reference
for an right triangle with angle θ
we are given
cos θ = 5/6 = length of adjacent side / length of hypotenuse
hence
adjacent length = 5 units
hypotenuse length = 6 units
the missing side is the "opposite" length which we can find with the Pythagorean equation. in our case:
hypotenuse ² = adjacent ² + opposite² (rearrange)
opposite ² = hypotenuse ² - adjacent ²
opposite ² = 6² - 5²
opposite = √ (6²-5²) = √11
sin θ = opposite length / hypotenuse (substitute values above)
sin θ = √11 / 6
hence a = √11 and b = 6
The sum of 15 and r.
Sum is the term used in verbal addition problems.
This is an expression therefore, you do not state what it equals. We no this because there is no equals sign.
