Answer: the starting temperature is - 7 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the starting temperature.

Then the temperature doubled. It means that it became 2x degrees

Then the temperature dropped by 10 degrees. It means that it became 2x - 10 degrees.

Then the temperature increased by 40 degrees. It means that it became 2x - 10 + 40 = 2x + 30 degrees.

If the temperature is now 16 degrees, it means that

2x + 30 = 16

2x = 16 - 30

2x = - 14

x = - 14/2

x = - 7 degrees

PLEASE HELP I AM STUCK ON THIS
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle problem.  The reference angle is x, the side opposite the reference angle is 32, and the hypotenuse is 58.  The trig ratio that relates the side opposite a reference angle to the hypotenuse is the sin.  Filling in accordingly:

sin(x)=\frac{32}{58}

Because you are looking for a missing angle, you will use your 2nd button and then the sin button to see on your display:

sin^{-1}(

Within the parenthesis enter the 32/58 and you'll get your angle measure.  Make sure your calculator is in degree mode, not radian mode!!!
