Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

42 ÷ 2 equals 21 then you do inverse operations so you subtract 36 and 21 which gives you 15

42/2=21
So it becomes 21+x=36 but keep going.
Add 21 to 36 to get the x by itself
x=57

Translate the expression into a word phrase. k + 12 A. a number less than 12 B. 12 more than a number C. the product of a number

Burka [1]

The answer is b) 12 more than a number

when you use the word "more than" it means addition. when you use the word "less than" it means subtraction. when you use the word "product of" it means multiplication. when you use "quotient of" it mean division.

hope that helps, God bless! <span />

Find the mean of this data: 37, 36, 40, 36, 40, 36, 38. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Nataly_w [17]

Add all the numbers together, and divide your total by the number of value there (in this case, 7). The nearest tenth is to one place after the decimal.

If a vertical line is dropped from the x-axis to the point (12, –9) in the diagram below, what is the value of sec?

dem82 [27]

Answer:

Value of $\sec \theta = \frac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A vertical line is dropped from the x-axis to the point (12, -9) as shown in the diagram below;

To find the value of $\sec \theta$ .

By definition of secants;

$\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}$

Now, first find the cosine of angle $\theta$

As the point (12 , -9) lies in the IV quadrant , where $\cos \theta > 0$

Consider a right angle triangle;

here, Adjacent side = 12 units and Opposite side = -9 units

Using Pythagoras theorem;

$(Hypotenuse side)^2= (12)^2 + (-9)^2 = 144 + 81 = 225$

$Hypotenuse = \sqrt{225} =15 units$

Cosine ratio is defined as in a right angle triangle, the ratio of adjacent side to hypotenuse side.

$\cos \theta = \frac{Adjacent side}{Hypotenuse side}$

then;

$\cos \theta = \frac{12}{15} = \frac{4}{5}$

and

$\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}= \frac{1}{\frac{4}{5}} = \frac{5}{4}$

therefore, the value of $\sec \theta$ is, $\frac{5}{4}$

Alex wants to find out how many ducks there are in a park.

Fiesta28 [93]

An estimate for the number of ducks would be 62.

There were 30 the first day.
The second day, 8 of those 30 were there as well, so we subtract that from the 40 ducks and get 32.
Add 30 and 32 to get our estimate.
