Answer:

The smaller number equals 12, the larger number equals 51.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (3x + 15) = 63

Combine like terms.

4x + 15 = 63

Subtract 15 from both sides.

4x + (15 -15) = (63 - 15)

4x = 48

Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12

Check answer.

12 + (3(12) + 15) = 63

12 + 36 + 15 = 63

63 = 63

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

P(B|A)=\frac{A ~and~B}{P(A)} \\0.5=\frac{P(A and B)}{0.6} \\P(A~and~B)=0.5 \times 0.6=0.30

Need help with these 3 questions (giving brainiest if you can answer with equations)
Tpy6a [65]

Problem 10

<h3>Answer: approximately 57.39159 km</h3>

Explanation: You'll use the equation cos(28) = d/65 to solve for d to get d = 65*cos(28) = 57.39159 approximately. We use the cosine ratio because it ties together the adjacent and hypotenuse.

=====================================

Problem 11

<h3>Answer: approximately 10.46162 meters </h3>

Explanation: This time we use the sine rule. We have the height as the opposite side (which is unknown, call it x) and the hypotenuse is the ladders length (11). So we have sin(72) = x/11 which solves to x = 11*sin(72) = 10.46162

=====================================

Problem 12

<h3>Answer: approximately 16.05724 cm</h3>

Explanation: Now we use the tangent rule to connect the opposite and adjacent sides.

tan(37) = 12.1/x

x*tan(37) = 12.1

x = 12.1/tan(37)

x = 16.05724 approximately

Given that <span>the number of possible handshakes within a group of n people is given by the equation:

</span>N= \frac{1}{2} (n^2-n)
<span>
Given that there are 105 people at a party, the number of possible handshakes is given by:

</span>N= \frac{1}{2} (105^2-105) \\  \\ = \frac{1}{2} (11025-105)=10920<span>
