Answer:
z = 
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
( cross- multiply )
12z = 200 ( divide both sides by 12 )
z = 
=
Answer:
C. 6.736
Step-by-step explanation:
The unmarked angle is 180-80-40 = 60 degrees. Given the angles of the triangle and one side length there is enough information to use the Law of Sines to solve the triangle--eliminating choice D.
The angle opposite x is larger than the angle opposite 5, so <em>x will be larger than 5</em>. That leaves only answer choice C: 6.736.
___
If you want to actually use the law of sines to determine x, you know that ...
x / sin(60°) = 5 / sin(40°)
x = 5·sin(60°)/sin(40°) . . . . . . multiply by sin(60°)
x ≈ 6.736
This equation has some nested grouping symbols on the left-hand side. As usual, I'll simplify from the inside out. I'll start by inserting the "understood" 1 in front of that innermost set of parentheses:
3 + 2[4x – (4 + 3x)] = –1
3 + 2[4x – 1(4 + 3x)] = –1
3 + 2[4x – 1(4) – 1(3x)] = –1
3 + 2[4x – 4 – 3x] = –1
3 + 2[1x – 4] = –1
3 + 2[1x] + 2[–4] = –1
3 + 2x – 8 = –1
2x + 3 – 8 = –1
2x – 5 = –1
2x – 5 + 5 = –1 + 5
2x = 4
x = 2
It is not required that you write out this many steps; once you get comfortable with the process, you'll probably do a lot of this in your head. But until you reach that comfort zone, you should write things out at least this clearly and completely.
Always remember, by the way, that you can check your answers in "solving" problems by plugging the numerical answer back in to the original equation. In this case, the variable is only in terms on the left-hand side (LHS) of the equation; my "check" (that is, my evaluation at the solution value) looks like this:
LHS: 3 + 2[4x – (4 + 3x)]:
3 + 2[4(2) – (4 + 3(2))]
3 + 2[8 – (4 + 6)]
3 + 2[8 – (10)]
3 + 2[–2]
3 – 4
–1
Since this is what I was supposed to get for the right-hand side (that is, I've shown that the LHS is equal to the RHS), my solution value was correct.
the answer is -8 because your increasing the negative absolute value
