Mathematics

It's a quadratic equation. Solve it through factorisation.

5s^2 - 14s - 3 = 0
(5s + 1)(s - 3) = 0

5s + 1 = 0
or
s - 3 = 0

Therefore

s = -1/5
or
s = 3

a washer and a dryer cost 659$ combined. The washer costs 91$ less than the dryer, how much was the dryer?  
Darina [25.2K]
W+D=659

W=D-91

---------------------------

(D-91)+D=659

D-91+D=659

2D=750

D=750/2=375

------------------------------

W+375=659

W=284

------------------------------

So the dryer had cost $375 and the washer had cost $284.

Pls answer! Dylan spots an airplane on radar that is currently approaching in a straight line, and
anastassius [24]

Answer:

13510 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

I have attached a triangle diagram to depict this situation.

From the diagram, we see that distance between A and B is denoted by x.

Now, from trigonometric ratios in this type of triangle, let's first find y.

6400/y = tan 36

y = 6400/tan 36

y = 8808.84 ft

Now, we can find x from;

6400/(8808.84 + x) = tan 16

6400/tan 16 = 8808.84 + x

22319.452 = 8808.84 + x

x = 22319.452 - 8808.84

x ≈ 13510 ft
