Answer:

-1.66666666667 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

15x+12=6x-3

subtract 6x on both sides

9x+12=-3

subtract 12 on both sides

9x=-15

x=-1.6666666666667

Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the total amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tahk. Wh
kvasek [131]

Answer:

2002 pounds

Explanation:

To know the weight of the plane, we need to find an equation that relates the amount of fuel to the weight.

This equation can be founded using the following

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where m is the slope, x1 is the number of gallons and y1 is the respective weight. So, replacing m = 6.0, x1 = 51 gallons and y1 = 2206 pounds, we get:

y-2206=6(x-51)

Now, we can solve for y

\begin{gathered} y-2206=6(x)-6(51) \\ y-2206=6x-306 \\ y=6x-306+2206 \\ y=6x+1900 \end{gathered}

Then, we can calculate the weight of an airplane with 17 gallons of fuel replacing x = 17 on the equation above

y = 6x + 1900

y = 6(17) + 1900

y = 102 + 1900

y = 2002

Therefore, the answer is 2002 pounds

A force of 50 pounds is exerted at an angle of 80 with the horizontal. What is its horizontal component?
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Option A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

 Any vector can be resolved in to two components. Horizontal component and vertical component.

Consider a vector F which is at angle θ⁰ to the horizontal, we can resolve this vector in to two.

Horizontal component = F cos θ

Vertical component = F sin θ

Here we have Force , F = 50 pounds

Angle with horizontal = 80°

Horizontal component = F cos θ = 50* cos 80 = 8.68 pounds

                                      ≅ 9 lb.

Option A is the correct answer.
