Answer:

The answer is 2j -5 = 230.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because of what the question is asking. When it says that 5 decreased from DOUBLE Joe's weight is 230 it means that the equation will result in 230. To find the equation we know we need DOUBLE Joe's weight and so it is 2j. It also says 5 decreased from double Joe's weight so we need to take away five. This is how we get to 2j - 5 = 230.

Answer:

a) Joe's weight is: 117.5

b) 2j-5=230

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that 5 is decreased from double Joe’s weight and the result is 230. Then, if j represents Joe’s weight you can write the following expression:

 2j-5=230

2. To know Joe’s weight you must solve for j. Then, you obtain the result show below:

2j=230+5\\2j=235\\j=\frac{235}{2}\\j=117.5

Find the values of x and y that make k || j and <br> m || n.
telo118 [61]
Same side interior angles CONVERSE also called consecutive interior angle CONVERSE.
IF  (x - 30) + (x + 50) = 180 then, line line n || m.

x -  30 + x + 50 = 180
2x + 20 = 180
subtract 20 from both sides
2x = 160
divide both sides by 2
x = 80

IF (x - 30) + y = 180, then k || j.
(80 - 30) + y = 180
50 + y = 180
subtract 50 from both sides
y = 130

The angle of elevation of a tower, 45 m high from a ball on the ground 52 degree (a) how far is the ball from the foot of the to
blsea [12.9K]

The distance of the ball from the foot of the tower is : 35.18m

The ball would be moved 57.2m away from the foot of the tower for the Angle of elevation to be halved.

<h3>What is angle of elevation?</h3>

Angle of elevation is the angle formed between the horizontal and the  line of view from the vertical.

Analysis:

The height of the tower and the distance of the ball from the foot of the tower form a right angle triangle.

so we use trigonometry.

a) let distance of the ball from foot of tower be x.

  so that, tan 52 = 45/x

  x = 45/tan52

  x = 45/1.279 = 35.18m

b) let the distance of the ball in the new position from the foot of the tower be y.

if the angle of elevation is halved, then new angle is 52/2 = 26°

 tan 26 = 45/y

y = 45/tan26 = 45/0.487 = 92.4m

distance moved from old position to new position = 92.4 - 35.18 = 57.2m

In conclusion, the distance of the ball from the foot of the tower and the distance the ball should move to make its elevation 26° are 35.18m and 57.2m respectively.
