Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
55 + x + 74 + 54 = 180
x + 183 = 180
x = -3
If this were to be graphed, the independent variable would be the price of the ticket for the rides. The dependent variable would be the total cost.
The fair admission is not a variable because it is a constant price for every single person who goes into the fair.
The problem asks to use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets. In order to fully write out the equation, we have to figure out what the fair admission costs.
43.75 = 1.25(25) + b
*b represents the fair admission
Multiply 1.25 by 25
43.75 = 31.25 + b
Subtract 31.25 to find what b costs.
12.50 = b
The fair admission costs $12.50.
Solution: y = 1.25x + 12.50
8. You can graph this or use the summation function on the TI computer.
Answer:
P = 30 degrees, PQ = 6.93, PN = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
For the angle, just subtract the angles you already know from 180, so 180 - 90 - 60= P. P = 30 degrees.
For PQ, use tan60 = x/4, or 4tan(60), which equals 6.93.
For PN, use cos60 = 4/x, or 4/cos60, which equals 8.
