Answer:

  30 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the distance to the island. The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

so the total time for the round trip is ...

  d/15 +d/10 = 5

Multiplying by 30, we get

  2d +3d = 150

  d = 150/5 = 30

The island was 30 miles from the harbor.

Jerry goes to a theme park to ride the roller coasters. The theme park charges an entry fee in addition to a fee for each roller
ratelena [41]
You start with: (assuming x equals the cost to enter and y the cost of going on the rollercoasters.)
x+5y=35
x+11y=59. Multiply the top equation by -1, and subtract the equations, giving you -6y=-24, divide by -6 into both sides of the equation, to get y=4. Now replace y in one of the original equations (I recommend x+5y=35) and solve for x, giving you x=15 

The cost for entering is 15 dollars, while each coaster is 4 dollars more. You could simplify this by changing y into x and making it slope-intercept form, to track your cost. y=4x+15, so it has a slope of 4, and a y-intercept of 15. This answer should give you a good grade on a test.

You can just put this into a calculator:

1/2^2 = 0.25

3×5-3 = 12

1^3 = 1

0.25 × 12 + 1 = 4

Solve the system of equations - 8x + 3y = -17 and 3x - y = 7 by combining the<br> equlations.
NeTakaya

Given :

Two equations :

-8x + 3y = -17  ....1)

3x - y = 7        ....2)

To Find :

The solution of the system.

Solution :

Multiplying equation 2) by 3 and adding with equation 1), we get :

(-8x + 3y) + 3(3x - y) = -17 + 21

x = 4

Putting above value of x equation 2) we get :

12 - y = 7

y = 5

Therefore, solution of system is ( 4,5 ).

If a and b are two angles in standard position in Quadrant I, find cos(a-b) for the given function values. sin a=3/5and cos b=12
goldfiish [28.3K]

The identity in question is

cos(a - b) = cos(a) cos(b) + sin(a) sin(b)

so that

cos(a - b) = 12/37 cos(a) + 3/5 sin(b)

Since both a and b lie in the first quadrant, both cos(a) and sin(b) will be positive. Then it follows from the Pythagorean identity,

cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1,

that

cos(a) = √(1 - sin²(a)) = 4/5

and

sin(b) = √(1 - cos²(b)) = 35/37

So,

cos(a - b) = 12/37 • 4/5 + 3/5 • 35/37 = 153/185
