Answer: x = 9.6
=========================================================
Explanation:
We have two smaller right triangles that are glued together so to speak.
The base of the smaller triangle on the left is 5 while the height is h.
Let's use the tangent rule to find the value of h
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(55) = h/5
5*tan(55) = h
h = 5*tan(55)
h = 7.14074003371058
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode. That value of h above is approximate.
--------------------------
Now focus on the smaller triangle on the right
It has the same height value h. This side is the adjacent side while x is the hypotenuse.
We'll use the cosine ratio
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(42) = h/x
cos(42) = 7.14074003371058/x
x*cos(42) = 7.14074003371058
x = 7.14074003371058/cos(42)
x = 9.6088135029715
x = 9.6
Answer:
- 9
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 x - 4 = -2
2/3 x = -2+4
x = 6 * (-3/2)
9 = -9
Answer:
x<1.5
explanation: move 4 to other side subtract it with 26.5 then divide it by 15
Answer:
x < 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Allen has already run 3 hours and will run x amount more to finish. This is 3+x. He must finish under or less than 5.5 hours. So 3 + x < 5.5. You solve and find x < 2.5.
well, we're assuming all along that Merina owes Bradford $2000, because in the 1st scenario, she was going to pay twice $1000.
on the 2nd scenario, she'll be paying the same $2000 but split 7 months from now and then 7 months later, same 2000 bucks, at which point Bradford applied 8.5% interest.
using those assumptions, since the wording is not quite clear, we can say that Merina is simply paying 2000 bucks plus the 8.5%
