Answer:
0.153
Step-by-step explanation:
It has been a long time since I've done this, so I hope it is correct:
cos = adjacent side / hypotenuse
cos x = 13 / 85 = 0.153
In this equation x = 49.
In order to find this, follow the order of operation of solving equations.
1/7x - 5 = 2 -----> Add 5 to both sides
1/7x = 7 ----> Multiply both sides by 7
x = 49
time * rate = distance
Downstream 4 * x = 4(x)
Upstream 6 * x - 2 = 6(x - 2)
distance downstream = distance upstream:
4(x) = 6(x - 2)
4x = 6x - 12
-2x = -12
x = 6
Distance Upstream: 4x = 4(6) = 24
Distance Upstream: 6(x - 2) = 6(6 - 2) = 6(4) = 24
Total distance traveled is Upstream + Downstream = 24 + 24 = 48
Answer: 48 miles
Is it option two hope I got it
