45 = 4(a+3)-3
45+3 = 4(a+3)
48 = 4(a+3)
48/4 = a+3
12 = a+3
a = 9

First, you need to distribute 4 throughout the parenthesis.

You get 45 = 4a +12 - 3

Put 12 and 3 together.

45 = 4a + 9

Subtract 9 from both sides.

36 = 4a

Divide each side by 4 and you have your answer.

Find the quotient................................

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this quotient, we divide each term inside the parenthesis by $2a$ . Then we simplify. So we have:

$\frac{4a^4}{2a}+\frac{6a^3}{2a}-\frac{10a^2}{2a}\\=2a^{4-1}+3a^{3-1}-5a^{2-1}\\=2a^3+3a^2-5a$

Answer choice A is correct.

Law of cosines <br><br> HELP MES

Lorico [155]

Answer:

70.52 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the angles, we must first find the lengths of each side of the triangle. Adding up the respective radii, we can see that

XY = 5+4 = 9 CM

XZ = 6+5 = 11 CM

ZY = 4+6 = 10 CM

Now we can apply the cosine rule

$C\:=\:\sqrt{A^2+B^2-2ABcosx}$

We need to rearrange the rule to solve for x, our missing angle

$x\:=\:cos^{-1}\left(\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}\right)$

solving for our unknown angle:

$x\:=\:cos^{-1}\left(\frac{9^2+10^2-11^2}{2\cdot 9\cdot 10}\right)$

$x\:=\:70.52^{\circ }$

Therefore angle YXZ is 70.52 degrees
