The question being the case, the equation is: 8x + 6y = 136.
Where x is the number of hours spent on job A and y is the number of house spent on job B. Now to solve for both variables.
Notice that if you add x and y, you should get a total of 20 hours so x + y = 20.
To get x, x = 20 - y. Replace the answer on the original equation gives you 8(20-y) + 6y = 136. 
160 - 8y + 6y = 136
160 - 2y = 136
-2y = 136 - 160
-2y = -24
<span>Solve for y by dividing both sides of this equation by -2 to get y:
y = 12
Replace y on the x + y = 20 equation to get x.
x + 12 = 20
x = 20 = 12
x = 8

Therefore:
x = 8 hours on job A
y = 12 hours on job B

Hope this helps!</span>

A(-7,-4) B(-2,0)
√[(x'-x)^2+(y'-y)^2]
√(-2-(-7)^2+(0-(-4)^2
√(5^2)+(4^2)
√25+16
√41 

the distance is approximately 6.4 units

How do you solve this triangle by using the law of sine where
mars1129 [50]
Actually, when you know 2 sides and an included angle, you use the Law of Cosines. (and we don't know if theta is an included angle).
Solving for side c
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2ab * cos(C)
c^2 = 36 + 16 - 2*6*4 * cos(60)
c^2 = 52 -48*.5
c^2 = 28
c = 5.2915

Using the Law of Sines
side c / sin(C) = side b / sin (B)
5.2915 / sin(60) = 4 / sin (B)
sin(B) = sin(60) * 4 / 5.2915
sin(B) = 0.86603 * 4 / 5.2915
<span><span>sin(B) = 3.46412 </span> / 5.2915
</span> <span><span><span>sin(B) = 0.6546571451 </span> </span> </span> 
Angle B = 40.894 Degrees

sin (A) / side a = sin (B) / side b
sin (A) = 6 * sin (40.894) / 4
sin (A) = 6 * 0.65466 / 4
sin (A) = .98199
angle A = 79.109 Degrees

angle C = 60 Degrees

Assoli18 [71]

Answer: 125/242

Step-by-step explanation: Probability is favorable outcomes over all outcome, since there were 250+234 total outcome, and 250 were favorable (girls), then the probability is 250/250+234=250/484=125/242
