<h2>Answer:</h2>

The equation which can be used to determine the minimum and maximum optimal angles of launch is:

                |x – 45| = 3

and the  minimum angle that is still optimal is:

                             42 degrees.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let x be the optimal angle by which the balloon is launched.

Also, it is given that the  they launch the balloon at an angle within 3 degrees of 45 degrees.

i.e. the range at which the angle is launched lie between 3 degree less than 45 degree and 3 degree more than 45 degree.

Hence, the equation that will represent this relationship is:

            |x-45|=3

Hence, on solving for the maximum value we have:

  x-3=45\\\\i.e.\\\\x=45+3\\\\i.e.\\\\x=48\ degree

and the smallest optimal angle is given by:

 x-45=-3\\\\i.e.\\\\x=45-3\\\\i.e.\\\\x=42\ degree

weeeeeb [17]

31 degrees, 31 degrees, 118 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let x be the measure of 2 angles of the given isosceles triangle with same measure

Let y be the measure of  3rd angle

So we have x + x + y = 180

Step 2 :

Given that the measure of  3rd angle of  triangle is 25​° more than three times the measure of either of the other two​ angles

So we have , y = 3 x + 25

Step 3:

Substituting for y in the first equation we have,

x + x + 3 x + 25 = 180

=> 5 x + 25 = 180

=> 5 x = 180-25 = 155

=> x = 155/5 = 31

Hence the 2 angles of the triangle are 31 degrees.

Step 4:

we have y = 3 x + 25

=> y = 3 * 31 + 25 = 118

Hence the 3rd angle of given triangle is 118 degrees

As per the problem

The chemicals in my swimming pool use a ratio of 5 tablets of chlorine for every 14 days.

we have been asked to find

Which ratio shows the number of chlorine tablets needed for 42 days?

Since for each 14 days the number of tablets required is 5

So if you multiply the number of days by some number then, we will have to multiply the number of tablets required by the same number.

So When number of days=14*3=42\\

Then the number of tablets required for 42 days is =5*3=15\\

How can you determine the equation that represents this relationship?
SOVA2 [1]
Ans: The equation that represents a proportional relationship, or a line, is y=kx, where k is the constant of proportionality. Use k=yx from either a table or a graph to find k and create the equation. Proportional relationships can be represented by tables, graphs and equations.
