The number is 28.

The equation would be:

237 + 6(x) = 405

The problem states that 6 times the opposite of a number, however, since the number sign was not given, we do not know whether it is in a positive or negative form. So we leave it as only x.

237 + 6x = 405
6x = 405 - 237
6x = 168
6x / 6 = 168 / 6
x = 28

To check:

237 + 6 (28) = 405
237 + 168 = 405
405 = 405

The answer is -2193
the opposite of 405 is -405
now multiply -405*6= -2430
finally add 2430+237=-2193<span />

Solve. 12 students in the classroom and she wants to create a student to teacher ratio of three to one (three students per teach

She will need a one to one ratio so to get to your ratio you need to take your 3 to 1 ratio and divide it by the 1 on 1 ratio

Not sure why such an old question is showing up on my feed...

Anyway, let $x=\tan^{-1}\dfrac43$ and $y=\sin^{-1}\dfrac35$ . Then we want to find the exact value of $\cos(x-y)$ .

Use the angle difference identity:

$\cos(x-y)=\cos x\cos y+\sin x\sin y$

and right away we find $\sin y=\dfrac35$ . By the Pythagorean theorem, we also find $\cos y=\dfrac45$ . (Actually, this could potentially be negative, but let's assume all angles are in the first quadrant for convenience.)

Meanwhile, if $\tan x=\dfrac43$ , then (by Pythagorean theorem) $\sec x=\dfrac53$ , so $\cos x=\dfrac35$ . And from this, $\sin x=\dfrac45$ .

So,

$\cos\left(\tan^{-1}\dfrac43-\sin^{-1}\dfrac35\right)=\dfrac35\cdot\dfrac45+\dfrac45\cdot\dfrac35=\dfrac{24}{25}$
