1. (5x-8)=(8x-17)
5x-8x=-17+8
-3x=-9
x=3

2. (3x+5) + (4x-7) =180
3x+5+4x-7=180
3x+4x=180-5+7
7x=182
x=26

The distance, d, in kilometres, travelled by a plane after t hours can be represented by d(t)=-4t³=40t²+500t, where t is greater

Ede4ka [16]

D(t) = -4t^3 + 40t^2 + 500t = 4088
4t^3 - 40t^2 - 500t + 4088 = 0
t = 7

Therefore, the plane has flown 4088 km 7 hours after it took off.

I NEED A QUICK ANSWER I WILL GIVE YOU BRAINLIEST!!! If I drive 20 minutes a day for 185 days how many hours would that be?

slavikrds [6]

I think its about 62 hours because you multiply the 185 days by 20 minutes and get 3,700 so you divide that by 60 and get 61.6666667. so the answer is 62 hours?

Answer:

$opposite\approx 70.02$

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle in the given problem is a right triangle, as the tower forms a right angle with the ground. This means that one can use the right angle trigonometric ratios to solve this problem. The right angle trigonometric ratios are as follows;

$sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos(\theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

Please note that the names ( $opposite$ ) and ( $adjacent$ ) are subjective and change depending on the angle one uses in the ratio. However the name ( $hypotenuse$ ) refers to the side opposite the right angle, and thus it doesn't change depending on the reference angle.

In this problem, one is given an angle with the measure of (35) degrees, and the length of the side adjacent to this angle. One is asked to find the length of the side opposite the (35) degree angle. To achieve this, one can use the tangent ( $tan$ ) ratio.
