I need a step-by-step process of how to solve this I know the answer but I need to know exactly how to solve these kinds of ques

tions so I know how to do it for a test:
A large ship is being towed by two tugs. The larger tug exerts a force which is 25 percent greater than the smaller tug, and at an angle of 30 degrees south of west.
Which direction must the smaller tug pull to ensure that the ship travels due west?

So what we know from that is that angle is 30 degrees south of west. so you go 30 degrees down from west. How can we do this? well <span>basically what you have to do is to break down the force into x and y component. The y component of large force and the y component of small force should cancel so that the boat doesn't go north and south and the x components of both the forces should add up so that it goes west only.</span>

What is the sum of x + 9?
vovikov84 [41]
So 30/48=15/(x+9)
this could be easily solved by recognizing the proportion (the other way is usiing full  algebra and doing multiply both sides by 48(x+9) and then divide both sides by 30 then subtract 9)
30 is 2 times of 15
therefor 48 is 2 times of (x+9)
48=2 times (x+9)
divide both sides by 2
24=x+9
subtract 9
15=x

x=15

Can somebody help me simplify these problems please?
Mazyrski [523]
1: answer: 4^6 ( reduce the fraction with 4^3)

2: answer: 1 ( any nonzero expression raised to the power of 0 equals 1 )

3: answer 3^8
steps: (3^2)^4 = 3^2×4 ( to raise a power to another Power multiply the exponents)
3^2×4 = 3^8 ( multiply the 2 and the 4 exponent to get a 8 as a exponent )

Geomtry plz help 15 points
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

m∠E=57°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠FDE=∠FED=(4x+1)° (base angles of isos triangle)

2(4x+1)+(5x-4)=180 (angle sum of triangle)

    8x+2+5x-4=180

             13x-2=180

                 13x=180+2

                       =182

                     x=182÷13

                       =14

Hence, m∠E = (4x+1)°

                     = [4(14)+1]°

                     = (56+1)°

                     = 57°
