Use elimination
Multiply first equation by 4
12a - 8b = 56
12a + 9b = 39
Subtract both
-17b = 17
b = -1
Plug in -1 for b
3a - 2(-1) = 14
3a = 12, a = 4
Final answer: a = 4, b = -1
Answer:
- <u><em>About 0.22</em></u>
Explanation:
There are two sets:
- Set W of incoming seniors who took AP World History, and
- Set E of incoming seniors who took AP European History
And there is a subset, which is the intersection of those two sets:
- Subset W ∩ E of senior students who took both.
The incoming seniors who are allowed to enroll in AP U.S. History, call them the subset S, is the set of those students that belong to W or E or both W ∩E.
By property of sets:
- S = W + E - W∩E = 175 + 36 - 33 = 178
Then, 178 out of 825 incoming seniors took one or both courses, and the desired probability of a randomly selected incoming senior is allowed to enroll in AP U.S. History is:
The distance from the kayak to the mountain to the nearest whole number is 43 meters.
The situation will form a right angle triangle as shown below in the diagram.
<h3>Properties of a right angle triangle:</h3>
- One of its angle is 90 degrees.
- The sides and angle can be found by using trigonometric ratios.
The height(opposite side) of the triangle is the kayak distance from the mountain to the lake below. The distance from the kayak to the mountain is the adjacent side of the triangle.
Therefore, using trigonometric ratios,
tan 35 = opposite / adjacent
tan 35° = 30 / a
a = 30 / tan 35°
a = 30 / 0.70020753821
a = 42.8444402023
a = 42.84 meters
a ≈ 43 meters
