You have defined x to be the smaller of two consecutive integers. Then the larger will be (x+1). The given relation is

... (x) + 3(x+1) = -5 . . . . the smaller plus 3 times the larger is -5

... 4x + 3 = -5 . . . . . . . .simplify

... 4x = -8 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3

... x = -2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

The smaller of the two integers is -2.

If sin(y°) = cos(x°), which of the following statements is true?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

<u>y = w and ΔABC ~ ΔCDE</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sin(y°) = cos(x°)

So, ∠y + ∠x = 90°  ⇒(1)

And as shown at the graph:

ΔABC is aright triangle at B

So, ∠y + ∠z = 90° ⇒(2)

From (1) and (2)

<u>∴ ∠x = ∠z </u>

ΔCDE is aright triangle at D

So, ∠x + ∠w = 90° ⇒(3)

From (1) and (3)

<u>∴ ∠y = ∠w</u>

So, for the triangles ΔABC and ΔCDE

  • ∠A = ∠C  ⇒ proved by ∠y = ∠w
  • ∠B = ∠D  ⇒ Given ∠B and ∠D are right angles.
  • ∠C = ∠E  ⇒ proved by ∠x = ∠z

So, from the previous  ΔABC ~ ΔCDE by AAA postulate.

So, the answer is <u>y = w and ΔABC ~ ΔCDE</u>

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

That is incorrect. It would be appropriate if the median were 79.3, since the median is the value in the middle (when placing the data in order).

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!
-Dominant- [34]
The equation of the line shown is y = 1/3x - 1

Because the slope is rise/run and in this case you rise 1 and run 3. And the y-intercept is -1 because that is where the line crosses the y-axis.

hope this helps :)
