Let the three consecutive equals:
x, x+1, x+2

sum:
x+(x+1)+(x+2) = 36
3x + 3 = 36
x+1 = 36/3
x+1 = 12
x=12-1
x=11

Answer:

B) 12.5%

3. Find the amount's percentage of the total

$350/$2800 = x

x = 0.125 = 12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

x+13⁰+10x+13⁰+2x-2⁰= 180⁰

13x= 180-24

13x=156

x = 12⁰

now angle Q = 10x+13⁰

= 10(12)+13= 120+13

= 133⁰

Prove that

Dovator [93]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the trigonometric identities

secx = $\frac{1}{cosx}$ , cosecx = $\frac{1}{sinx}$

cotx = $\frac{cosx}{sinx}$ , tanx = $\frac{sinx}{cosx}$

Consider the left side

secA cosecA - cotA

= $\frac{1}{cosA}$ × $\frac{1}{sinA}$ - $\frac{cosA}{sinA}$

= $\frac{1}{cosAsinA}$ - $\frac{cosA}{sinA}$

= $\frac{1-cos^2A}{cosAsinA}$

= $\frac{sin^2A}{cosAsinA}$ ( cancel sinA on numerator/ denominator )

= $\frac{sinA}{cosA}$

= tanA = right side ⇒ proven
