The word "is" in this kind of problem typically means "=", so we know that something =-8. Since we're finding the number, we should start with the closest thing in the phrase given to that number. In this case, it's 3/4x. Finally, since we have the "14 less than", we need to add that in. Your answer is:

3/4x-14=-8. Now we can just solve!
       +14   +14

3/4x=6.
*4/3   *4/3

x=8.

The sin A expressed in ratio form is \frac{\sqrt{6} }{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given right angled triangle diagram, sin A is calculated as follows;

sin \ A = \frac{Opp}{hypo} \\\\sin \ A = \frac{2\sqrt{6} }{8} \\\\sin \ A = \frac{\sqrt{6} }{4}

Therefore, the sin A expressed in ratio form is \frac{\sqrt{6} }{4}

Yolanda is making a banner for a school pep rally. She cuts fabric in the shape of a parallelogram. The angle at the bottom-left
Roman55 [17]

Answer: x=100

Step-by-step explanation:

In parallelograms the opposite angles are equal. As the bottom left angle is 80° the opposite angle (top right), is also 80°. All 4 angles in a quadrilateral must add up to 360. Because you know 2 angles added together are 160° the other two angles must equal 200°. As opposite angles are equal you know 2x=200, divide by 2 x=100
