Mathematics
1 answer:
Ymorist [56]3 years ago

It is pretty easy to eliminate the wrong answers by trying the answers in the equations.

a. 7 times 30 is way more than 4

c. 6 times 226 is way more than 172, even after subtracting 64

d. 7 times -74 is way less than 4

The appropriate choice is

... b. x=4, y=30

You can check it with your graphing calculator.

_____

Since you have an expression for y, you can substitute that into the second equation:

... -2x + 6(2+7x) = 172 . . . . substitute for y

... 40x = 160 . . . . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, subtract 12, collect terms

... x = 4 . . . . . . this is sufficient to help you locate the correct answer

PLEASE HELP DUE IN 40 MINS!! Using the Law of Sines, find the exact answer for x.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin(30) / X  = Sin(45) / 12

use algebra to isolate X

1 / X = [ Sin(45) / 12  ]   /  Sin(30)

flip both sides

X =  Sin(30) / [Sin(45) /12 ]

invert the denominator on the right side

X = Sin(30) *  12/ Sin(45)

Do you know what Sin(30) is off the top of your head?

and also Sin(45) ?

these are worth remembering... and you can b/c they are just

sin(0) = 0/2

sin(30) = 1 / 2

sin(45) = \sqrt{2}/2

sin(60)= \sqrt{3} / 2

sin(90) = \sqrt{4} / 2    (aka 1)

note the numerators just counts up  0, 1, 2, 3, 4  :)  

Cos works the same way but counts from 90° back to 0 but exactly like sin other wise, hence why Cos and Sin both = \sqrt{2}/2 at 45 °

anyway

X =  1 / 2 * 12/ \sqrt{2}/2

X = 3\sqrt{2}

A=3

B= 2

:)  nice , huh

Please help!!! I’ll mark brainliest!!
nalin [4]

Answer:

9:50

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the ratio, we can just simplify a fraction down to 1.

Since there's 18 dimes, and 100 coins in total, we'll start with the fraction

18/100

Put 18/100 in simplest form

9/50

Then Turn the fraction into a ratio

9/50 -> 9:50

For every 9 dimes there's 50 coins.

I hope this helped.

(Simplified to 1, is 1/5.56 or 1:5.56)

Answer:

17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between points (a,b)\,,\,(c,d) is given by \sqrt{(c-a)^2+(d-b)^2}

The trail starts at P(−2, 2) and goes to Q(5, 2).

Take (a,b)=(-2,2)\,,\,(c,d)=(5,2)

PQ=\sqrt{(5+2)^2+(2-2)^2}=\sqrt{7^2}=7 units

It goes from Q to R(5, −5)

Take (a,b)=(5,2)\,,\,(c,d)=(5,-5)

QR=\sqrt{(5-5)^2+(-5-2)^2}=\sqrt{(-7)^2}=7 units

It goes from R to S.

Take (a,b)=(5,-5)\,,\,(c,d)=(8,-5)

RS=\sqrt{(8-5)^2+(-5+5)^2}=\sqrt{3^2}=3 units

PQ+QR+RS=7+7+3=17 units

28% of 63 is what? i'm so confused right now
Daniel [21]

Answer:

\displaystyle 17\frac{16}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

\displaystyle 28\%\:of\:63 \\ \\ \frac{7}{25} \times 63 = \frac{441}{25} \\ \\ \boxed{\boxed{17\frac{16}{25}}}

To turn 63% into a fraction, write it as a fraction over 100, then simplify it:

\displaystyle \boxed{\frac{7}{25}} = \frac{28}{100}

I am joyous to assist you at any time.
