8 less than 1/3 a number n is -13

Let's set up an equation.

so we know the answer is -13.
1/3 of a number (our variable) can be written as 1/3n.
8 less than that would be subtracting 1/3n by 8

so we have -13 = 1/3n - 8.

To solve:
Add 8 to both sides: -5 = 1/3n
Multiply both sides by 3 (to cancel fraction): -15 = n

You can check by plugging -15 into the equation we made.

Calculate the length b to two decimal places.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

B. 21.64

Step-by-step explanation:        

We have been given a triangle and we are asked to find the length of AC (b).

We will use law of cosines to find the length of side AC.

c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}-2ab \text{ cos }\theta

Upon substituting our given values in the formula we will get,

(AC)^{2}=15^{2}+12^{2}-2\times 15\times 12 \text{ cos}(106)  

(AC)^{2}=225+144-360\text{ cos}(106)      

(AC)^{2}=369-360(-0.275637355817)      

(AC)^{2}=369+99.22944809412    

(AC)^{2}=468.22944809412

Upon taking square root of both sides of our equation we will be get,

AC=\sqrt{468.22944809412}

AC=21.6386101238993629\approx 21.64  

Therefore, the length of b is 21.64 and option B is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if you think of it it multiplies by 3x so 3x5=? 15! 15x3=? 45! 45x3=? 405! 405x=3? 1,215! 1,215x3=? 3,645! anyways, I can go on and on I hope this answer was right!
