2/3x - 14/3 = -2
3(2/3x - 14/3) = -2(3)
2x - 14 = -6
2x = -6 + 14
2x = 8
x = 8/2
x= 4

hope this helps :)

A 140 kg camera is suspended by two wires over a 40 metre wide football field to get shots of the action from above. At one poin

Answer:

Please red the answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the length of each cable you use the Newton second law for each component of the forces involved in the situation.

For the x component you have:

$T_1cos\theta_1-T_2cos\theta_2=0$ (1)

T1: tension of the first cable = 1500N

T2: tension of the second cable = 800N

θ1: angle between the horizontal and the first cable

θ2: angle between the horizontal and the first cable

For the y component you have:

$T_1sin\theta_1+T_2sin\theta_2-W=0$ (2)

W: weight of the camera = Mg = (140kg)(9.8m/s^2) = 1372N

You can squared both equations (1) and (2) and the sum the two equations:

$T_1^2cos^2\theta_1=T_2^2cos^2\theta_2\\\\T_1^2sin^2\theta_1=T_2^2sin^2\theta_2-2WT_2sin\theta_2+W^2$

Then, you sum the equations:

$T_1^2(cos^2\theta_1+sin^2\theta_1)=T_2^2(sin^2\theta_2+cos^2\theta_2)-2Wsin\theta_2+W^2$ (3)

Next, you use the following identity:

$sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta=1$

and you obtain in the equation (3):

$T_1^2=T_2^2-2WT_2sin\theta_2+W^2\\\\sin\theta_2=\frac{T_2^2-T_1^2+W^2}{2WT_2}=\frac{(800N)^2-(1500)^2+(1372N)^2}{2(800N)(1372N)}=0.066\\\\\theta_2=sin^{-1}0.066=27.23\°$

With this values you can calculate the value of the another angle, by using the equation (1):

$\theta_1=cos^{-1}(\frac{T_2cos(27.23\°)}{T_1})=cos^{-1}(\frac{(800N)(cos27.23\°)}{1500N})\\\\\theta_1=61.69\°$

Now, you can calculate the length of each cable by using the information about the width of the football field. You use the following trigonometric relation:

$l_1cos\theta_1=40-d\\\\l_2cos\theta_2=d\\\\$

d: distance to the right side of the field

By using the cosine law you can fins a system of equation and then you can calculate the values of l1 and l2.

Write the following proportion: 8 is to 64 as 2 is to x.

Ksenya-84 [330]

x = 4

8 multiplied by itself is 64.
And so, 2 times itself is 4.

Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

timofeeve [1]

Answer: 41.1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, we need to use SOH-CAH-TOA. SOH-CAH-TOA is since, cosine, and tangent. The O, A, H stands for opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse respectively.

Looking at the figure, we see 47°. The labelled angles are adjacent and the hypotenuse. Therefore, we use CAH or cosine.

$cos(47)=\frac{28}{x}$ [multiply both sides by x]
