If 3 times a number minus 2 equals 13, what is the number? A. 5 B. 2 C. –6 D. 4

1 answer:

4 0

3x - 2 = 13

Add 2 on both sides

3x - 2 + 2 = 13 + 2
3x = 13 + 2
3x = 15

Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 = 15/3

x = 15/3

x = 5

Your final answer is A. 5.

Advocard [28]

We have been given that Susan has a 12-inch board for constructing a wooden chair.The directions say to use a board that is 29 centimeters long. We are asked to determine if Susan's board is long enough to cut or not.

We know that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm.

Let us convert 12 inches into cm by multiplying 12 by 2.54.

$12\text{ inches}=12\times 2.54\text{ cm}$

$12\text{ inches}=30.48\text{ cm}$

Since 12 inches is equal to 30.48 centimeters and 30.48 is greater than 29, therefore, Susan's board in long enough to cut.

If tan of angle theta = 11/60 , what is the value of cot angle theta?

UkoKoshka [18]

The tangent and cotangent functions of the angle are related such that one is the reciprocal of the other. From the given tan theta = 11 / 60. The reciprocal of this number is 60 / 11. This value is also the cotangent of the angle. Thus, the cotangent angle theta is 60 / 11.
