Kamil and Sean share some money in the ratio 3:5. Sean gets $56 more than Kamil. How much do they get each?

1 answer:

3 0

Let Kamil get x. Therefore Sean would get (x + 56).

Kamil and Sean are in the ratio: 3:5

That means: x : (x + 56) = 3 : 5

x / (x + 56) = 3/5

5*x = 3*(x + 56)

5x = 3*x + 3*56

5x = 3x + 168

5x - 3x = 168

2x = 168

x = 168 / 2

x = 84

Therefore Kamil had, x = 84, and Sean had (x + 56) = 84 + 56 = 140

Kamil had $84 and Sean had $140

If this is supposed to be
$cos^{2}θ-sin^{2}θ$
Then this can simply be reduced to
$cos2θ$

Two cars leave towns 360 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One car's rate is 12 kilometers per hou

mixer [17]

Let x = speed of the first car

the second car is 12 km slower so the seconds car speed is x-12

they each drove 2 hours so 1st car = 2x
2nd car = 2(x-12)

they drove 360 km
so you have 2x + 2(x-12) = 360
solve for x

2x+2(x-12) = 360

2x + 2x-24 = 360

4x-24 = 360

4x = 384
x = 384/4
x = 96

1st car drove at 96 km per hour

slower car drove at 96-12 = 84 km per hour

Answer:

16.4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 20 feet. The tangent of one of the acute angles, angle $\theta$ , is 1.42. We are asked to find the length of the side opposite angle $\theta$ .
