Option D:

15c ≤ 200

Solution:

Let c be the number of cases of tea bags.

Cost of each tea bag = 15 gold coins

Total gold coins Mad have = 200

<u>Set up an inequality:</u>

Cost of c tea bags = 15 × c = 15c

Mad can buy tea bags at most 200 gold coins.

(At most 200 means 200 is the greater value)

15 × c ≤ 200

15c ≤ 200

Hence option D is the correct answer.

Solve the proportional<br> equation below:<br> x/4 = x-6/3

aleksandrvk [35]

<h2><u>PROPORTIONAL EQUATION</u></h2><h3>Exercise</h3>

Apply the means-extremes property of proportions: this allows you to cross multiply:

$\boxed{\mathsf{\dfrac{x}{4} = \dfrac{x - 6}{3}}}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{x}{4} \searrow \dfrac{x - 6}{3}}$ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎‎ $\mathsf{\dfrac{x}{4} \nearrow \dfrac{x-6}{3}}$ ‏‏‎‎

$\boxed{\mathsf{3x = 4(x - 6)}}$

Apply the distributive property:

$\mathsf{3x = 4(x-6)}$

$\mathsf{3x = 4(x) - 4(6)}$

$\mathsf{3x = 4x - 24}$

Add 24 to both sides:

$\mathsf{3x + 24 = 4x - 24 + 24}$

$\mathsf{3x + 24 = 4x}$

Substract 3x to both sides

$\mathsf{3x - 3x + 24 = 4x - 3x}$

$\mathsf{24 = 4x - 3x}$

$\large{\boxed{\mathsf{24 = x}}}$

<h3><u>Answer</u>. The value of x = 24.</h3>

-7 + -5
When you add negative, it would be the same as subtracting
Turns into: -7-5
-(7+5) = -12
The solutions is -12

Is anybody else here to help me ??

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

$\cot(x)+\cot(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$

$\cot(x)+\tan(x)$

$\frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}+\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

$\frac{1}{\sin(x)}(\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)})$

$\csc(x)(\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)})$

$\csc(x)[\frac{\cos(x)\cos(x)}{\cos(x)}+\sin(x)\frac{sin(x)}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\frac{\cos(x)\cos(x)+\sin(x)\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\frac{\cos^2(x)+\sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\frac{1}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\sec(x)]$

$\csc(x)[\csc(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)]$

$\csc(x)\csc(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to use $x$ instead of $\theta$ because it is less characters for me to type.

I'm going to start with the left hand side and see if I can turn it into the right hand side.

$\cot(x)+\cot(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$

I'm going to use a cofunction identity for the 2nd term.

This is the identity: $\tan(x)=\cot(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$ I'm going to use there.

$\cot(x)+\tan(x)$

I'm going to rewrite this in terms of $\sin(x)$ and $\cos(x)$ because I prefer to work in those terms. My objective here is to some how write this sum as a product.
