HOW TO SOLVE:
1) use x as a variable
2) the starting equation is:
4x + 3x + 5x = 18
3) add all the like terms on the left side of the equation:
12x = 18
4) Divide by 12 on both sides:
x=1.5
5) Find the lengths of the sides:
- 4x = 4(1.5) = 6
- 3x = 3(1.5) = 4.5
- 5x = 5(1.5) = 7.5
SO, the lengths of the sides of this triangle are: 6, 4.5, and 7.5
Answer:
n= 36
Step-by-step explanation:
18=n-18 (add 18 to both sides of the equation, 18 and -18 cancel out)
36=n

Answer:
a) cos(α+β) ≈ 0.8784
b) sin(β -α) ≈ -0.2724
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to go at these. One is to use the sum and difference formulas for the cosine and sine functions. To do that, you need to find the sine for the angle whose cosine is given, and vice versa.
Another approach is to use the inverse trig functions to find the angles α and β, then combine those angles and find find the desired function of the combination.
For the first problem, we'll do it the first way:
sin(α) = √(1 -cos²(α)) = √(1 -.926²) = √0.142524 ≈ 0.377524
cos(β) = √(1 -sin²(β)) = √(1 -.111²) ≈ 0.993820
__
a) cos(α+β) = cos(α)cos(β) -sin(α)sin(β)
= 0.926×0.993820 -0.377524×0.111
cos(α+β) ≈ 0.8784
__
b) sin(β -α) = sin(arcsin(0.111) -arccos(0.926)) ≈ sin(6.3730° -22.1804°)
= sin(-15.8074°)
sin(β -α) ≈ -0.2724

Answer:
29
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the number of wins. Then the number of losses is w-18. The total number of games played is ...
wins + losses = 40
w + (w-18) = 40
2w = 58
w = 29
The Rangers won 29 games.
