<span>17x-2=7x+8

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
<span>17x-2=7x+8

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
<span>+17x-7x=+8+2

We simplify left and right side of the equation.
<span>+10x=+10

We divide both sides of the equation by 10 to get x.
<span>x=1</span></span></span></span></span>

<span>Solve 17x - 2 = 7x + 8
Subtract 7x to both sides
17x - 2 - 7x = 7x +8 -7x
Simplify
10x-2=8
Now, add 2 to both sides
10x - 2 +2 = 8 +2
Simplify
10x = 10
x = 10/10
x = 1

Eli has saved $8 more than 1/3 of Angela's savings.If they each save $10 more Eli will have saved &amp;4 more than Angela's savi
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Eli has saved $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the first letters of their names to represent them.

A for Angela and E for ELi

So, from the first statement, we can write out an equation: E = \frac{1}{3}A + 8, that is, <em>one-third of Angela's savings + $8 will give us Eli's savings</em>

From the second statement, we can write out: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4 which means that <em>if $10 is added to both their savings, Eli will still have $4 more than Angela.</em>

So, we can solve both equations;

Equation 1: E = \frac{1}{3}A + 8

Equation 2: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4; which can be rewritten as E + 10 = A + 14

and then E = A + 4

The two equations (in bold), can then be solved simultaneously.

Let us carry out this operation to <u>eliminate the E:</u> Subtract equation 1 from equation 2, so that;

A + 4 - ( \frac{1}{3}A + 8) = E - E

\frac{2}{3}A - 4 = 0

\frac{2}{3}A = 4

A = 4 × \frac{3}{2} = 6

So, if A is 6, and E = A + 4 (from equation 2, that means that E = 6 + 4 = 10

So, Eli has saved $10, while Angela has saved $6.

If we check what was said in the question about their savings, which is what we have represented using the equations, the answers can be confirmed.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

b. -36/77

Step-by-step explanation:

As 0 < x < \pi/2 => tan x > 0

As 0< y <  \pi/2 => tan y > 0

We have the formula:

  • \frac{1}{sin^{2}x } =1 + cot^{2}x => \frac{1}{(8/17)^{2} } = 1+cot^{2}x => cot^{2} x=225/64

As tan x = 1/(cotx) => tan^{2}x = \frac{1}{cot^{2}x} =\frac{1}{225/64} = \frac{64}{225}

As tan x > 0 => tan x = 8/15

  • \frac{1}{cos^{2}y } = 1+tan^{2}y => \frac{1}{(3/5)^{2} } = 1 + tan^{2} y => tan^{2}y=\frac{16}{9}

As tan y > 0 => tan y = 4/3

As tan (x-y)= \frac{tan x - tan y}{1+ tanx * tany} =\frac{(8/15)-(4/3)}{1+(8/15)*(4/3)} = \frac{-36}{77}

BRAINIEST FOR CORRECT ANSWER!! :))) ——————-
Morgarella [4.7K]
Answer:
3 < c < 13
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle is known to have 3 sides: Side a, Side b and Side c.
For a triangle, one of the three sides is longer than the other two sides. (The only exception is when we are told specifically that a triangle is an equilateral triangle, where all the 3 sides are equal to each other).
To solve the above question, we would be using the Triangle Inequality Theorem.
The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the summation or addition of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
Side a + Side b > Side c
Side a + Side c > Side b
Side b + Side c > Side a
For the above question, we have 2 possible side lengths for the third side of the triangle. We are given in the above question,
side (a) = 5
side (b) = 8
Let's represent the third side as c
To solve for the above question,we would be having the following Inequality.
= b - a < c < b + a
= 8 - 5 < c < 8 + 5
= 3 < c < 13
