Combining like terms, move the one with coefficient a to the left, and move the constant to the right
\dfrac{a}{2} -  \dfrac{2}{3} =a+ \dfrac{1}{5}
\dfrac{a}{2} - a =\dfrac{1}{5} + \dfrac{2}{3}

equalize the denominators in like-terms
\dfrac{a}{2} - \dfrac{2a}{2} =\dfrac{1 \times 3}{5 \times 3} + \dfrac{2 \times 5}{3 \times 5}
\dfrac{a}{2} - \dfrac{2a}{2} =\dfrac{3}{15} + \dfrac{10}{15}

do the operation to the numerators
\dfrac{-a}{2} =\dfrac{13}{15}

solve for a
-a = \dfrac{13}{15} \times 2
-a = \dfrac{26}{15}
a = - \dfrac{26}{15}

Find w and y, will give brainliest for the correct answer
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: w=12, y=6√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the figure, we can split the triangle into 2 separate triangles. One on the left and one on the left. The triangle on the right is a 30-60-90 triangle. For this triangle, the hypotenuse is 2x in length. This is directly opposite of the right angle. The leg opposite to 30° is x in length. The leg opposite 60° is x√3 in length. Once you know the length of one side, you can plug in x to find the length of the other legs.

In this case, w and y are located on the same 30-60-90 triangle. Normally we would focus on that triangle to find our values, but in this instance, we don't have any values. We have to use the left triangle to find the leg that both triangles share.

The left triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle. For this triangle, the legs opposite of 45° is x in length. The hypotenuse is x√2. Since we know the hypotenuse, we can use it to find x.

x√2=8

x=8/√2

x=5.7 or 6       [Let's use 6 so that it is easier to work with a whole number]

Now that we know x, we can find w and y. Going back to the right triangle, we know the hypotenuse is 2x. We plug in 6 to find the length.

w=2x

w=2(6)

w=12

We know the leg opposite of 60° is x√3. We can plug in x.

y=6√3

Triangle XYZ is pictured below.
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

sine uses opposite over hypotenuse

the opposite of x is 20 and the hypotenuse is 29

so the answer is 20/29

When s is the open hemisphere x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = 1, z ≤ 0 , oriented by the inward normal pointing to the origin, then the bounda
Anit [1.1K]
The figure below shows a diagram of this problem. First of all we graph the hemisphere. This one has a radius equal to 1. Given that z ≤ 0 a sphere will be valid only in the negative z-axis, that is, we will get a half of a sphere that is the hemisphere shown in the figure. We know that this hemisphere is oriented by the inward normal pointing to the origin, then we have a Differential Surface Vector called N, using the Right-hand rule <span>the boundary orientation is </span>counterclockwise.

Therefore, the answer above False
