Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding sides are proportional.
BE/CD = AE/AD
20/(3x+8) = (x-1)/(x-1+27)
20(x+26) = (3x+8)(x -1)
In standard form, this is ...
3x^2 -15x -528 = 0
x^2 -5x -176 = 0 . . . . . . divide by 3
(x -16)(x +11) = 0 . . . . . . . factor
x = 16
__
This is the positive value that makes the product zero. x=-11 will also make the product 0, but gives negative segment lengths in the geometry. It is an extraneous solution.

Explanation:
x = number of seconds that elapse
y = altitude (aka height) of the plane
The equation for plane A is
y = 20.25x+2652
because it starts off at 2652 ft in the air, and then adds on 20.25 feet per second which is what the 20.25x describes
The equation for plane B is
y = 75.5x
The y intercept is zero because plane B starts on the ground, aka height 0.
------------------
The system of equations is

If we want to know when they'll reach the same height (y), then we can set the two right hand sides equal to each other and solve for x.
75.5x = 20.25x+2652
75.5x-20.25x = 2652
55.25x = 2652
x = (2652)/(55.25)
x = 48
The two planes reach the same altitude at exactly <u>48 seconds</u>
That altitude is <u>3624 feet</u> because
- y = 20.25*x + 2652 = 20.25*48+2652 = 3624
- y = 75.5*x = 75.5*48 = 3624
Notice I plugged x = 48 into each equation and I got the same y value of y = 3624. This helps confirm the answers.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
-4 +11 is saying that assuming if a person owe 4 dollars and his friend gives him 11 dollars that he will pay back the four dollars and still have 7 dollars left
The answer is A. multilpy 12×24 to get 288.subtract 24 from 32 to get 8, which is the leng th of the triangle. 12×8=96÷2=48. 48+288=336
Cot(3x)=3^(1/2)
cot(x)= cos(x)/sin(x)
cot(3x)= cos(3x)/sin(3x)
look at a unit circle chart
find a value for cos that has sqrt(3) in it
which one will reduce so that the cos/sin will equal sqrt(3)?
pi/6 radians
now cot(3x) implies that x is one third this value
pi/18 is the answer
