Answer:
right-handed gloves and 
left-handed gloves were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: In one month, 
gloves were sold for a total revenue of 
.
right-handed gloves cost 
and left-handed gloves cost 
.
To find: How much of each type of gloves did they sell?
Solution: Let they sell 
right-handed gloves, and 
left-handed gloves.
Now, cost of each right-handed gloves 
cost of each left-handed gloves 
Total revenue 
So, we get
Also, in a month gloves were sold.
So, we get
Now, from 
we get, 
.
Putting in equation 
, we get
Now, putting 
in equation , we get
Hence, right-handed gloves and left-handed gloves were sold.
First things first, write the equations!
- Word problems can be intimidating because of all information given, so all you need to focus on, is the information about the variables you are solving, everything else, like the story line is irrelevant!
- Writing Equations from Word Problems:
pull the good stuff (information about the variables) so you can see the information needed, without having to mess your brain up with a bunch of irrelivance!
Equation 1:
3 donuts and 2 coffees is $3.94
Equation 2:
2 donuts and 6 coffees is $7.20
Now it is simply reading the equation...
Knowing these "terms" when writing Equations from a word problem is VERY IMPORTANT;
IS: =
and, more than, etc: +
less than, etc: -
Knowing the terms makes Writing the Equations THE EASIEST PART! Most of the time students get these problems wrong because of wrong equations!
So Equation 1 IS ( = ) ;)
3 Donut + 2 Coffee = 3.94
Equation 2:
2 donut + 6 coffee = 7.20
Now, to make things simple I personally find it easier to "let Donuts = d" and "let Coffee = c"
so...
3d + 2c = 3.94
2d + 6c = 7.20
in order to solve, we have to ELIMINATE one of the variables by making one of them equal 0.
I chose to eliminate c by multiplying the first equation by 3.
3 (3d + 2c = 3.94)
--> 9d + 6c = 3.94
and then the 2nd equation by -1
-1 (2d + 6c = 7.20)
---> -2d + -6c = -7.20
9d + 6c = 11.82
-2d + -6c = -7.20
--- Now we can add the 2 equations, doing so will cancel out c!
9d + 6c = 11.82
+
-2d + -6c = -7.20
= 7d + 0c = 4.62
= 7d = 4.62
now it is simple algebra to figure out d!
- you want to get d by itself so we need to get rid of the 7 and take it to the other side by division!
so-- 7d/7 = 4.62/7
= d = .66
Now that we know d, we just plug it into the original equations to find c!
- you can choose either one to plug it intl , but I chose equation 2:
2(.66) + 6c = 7.20
* MUST DO ORDER OF OPERATIONS- PEMDAS (parentheses, exponemts, multiplication, division, addition and then lastly subtraction)
so first we multiply 2 and .66
1.32 + 6c = 7.20
Now we want to get c by itself, so we subtract 1.32 by both sides-
6c = 5.88
now divide to get c
c = .98
ALWAYS CHECK
BOTH
EQUATIONS AFTER FINDING THE VARIABLES TO ENSURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT ANSWER (:
I hope that helped (:
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to use trigonometric stuff here. Since you're given the hypotenuse and an angle you can plug that right into an equation.
Recall that sin is opposite over hypotenuse and cos is adjacent over hypotenuse.
Now that you know the opposite side (DC) you can use tan, too, but I'm going to use cos.
This is the adjacent side (BC). I put it in its exact value, but in decimal form it's ≈12.124.
Now you can do the perimeter:
Your answer is the 38.2
Answer:
La torre tiene 543.78 pies de altura.
Step-by-step explanation:
Podemos pensar en esta situación como si fuera un triángulo rectángulo, donde el cable es la hipotenusa y la torre es uno de los catetos. (Abajo se puede ver un dibujo de esta situación).
Nosotros queremos encontrar el valor de H, que es el cateto opuesto al ángulo conocido de 65°.
Entonces simplemente podemos usar la relación:
Sin(θ) = (cateto opuesto)/(hipotenusa)
donde:
cateto opuesto = H
θ = 65°
hipotenusa = 600 ft
sin(65°) = H/600ft
sin(65°)*600ft = H = 543.78 ft
La torre tiene 543.78 pies de altura.
