"The sum of three numbers is 85"

x+y+z = 85

"The second number is 7 more than the first."

y = x+7

"The third is 2 more than four times the second."

z = 4y+2

z = 4(x+7) + 2 = 4x+30


x + (x+7) + (4x+30) = 85

6x = 48

x = 8

y = x+7 = 15

z = 4x+30 = 62

Hope this helps!

Let x=the first number
Then x+7=second number
And 4(x+7)+2=third number (2 more than 4 times the second)
Now we are told that:
x+(x+7)+(4(x+7)+2)=85 get rid of parentheses
x+x+7+4x+28+2=85 simplify
6x+37=85 subtract 37 from each side
6x+37-37=85-37
6x=48
x=8---first number
x+7=8+7=15 second number
4(x+7)+2=4*15+2=62 third number

8+15+62=85
85=85

Using the following triangle, what is the cosine of angle B?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

  cos(B) = a/c

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

The leg adjacent to angle B is "a". The hypotenuse is "c", so the desired cosine is ...

  cos(B) = adjacent/hypotenuse = a/c

g If A and B are disjoint events, with P( A) = 0.20 and P( B) = 0.30. Then P( A and B) is: a. .00 b. .10 c. .50 d. 0.06
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: A) 0

P(A and B) = 0 when events A and B are disjoint, aka mutually exclusive.

We say that two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot happen at the same time. An example would be flipping a coin to have it land on heads and tails at the same time.
