The green river freeway has a minimum and maximum speed limit, tony drove for 2 hours at the minimum speed limit and 3.5 hours a

t the maximum speed, a distance of 355 miles. Rae drove 2 hours at the minimum speed limit and 3 hours at the maximum speed limit, and distance of 320 miles. What are the two speeds? Write and solve tony and Rae's distances

From the beginning we know we are dealing with two different rates. Distance is equal to (Speed X Time). We have two different speeds though. We will call the min speed = x and the max speed = y.  With those two ideas in place we can make two equations for both Tony and Rae.
Tony:
2x+3.5y=355
Rae:
2x+3y=320
Now you can solve the equations by subtracting Rae's equation from Tony's

.5y=35 solve for y and you get 70
Now plug that y value back into either equation and you can solve for x. I'll use Rae's distance: 
2x+3(70)=320
x=55

Solving a right triangle (round to the nearest tenth)
Inga [223]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Subtract the sum of the given angles from 180 for A

A = 180° - (90 + 46)° = 180° - 136° = 44°

----------------------------------------------------------------

tan46° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{b}{23}

Multiply both sides by 23

23 × tan46° = b, thus

b ≈ 23.8 ( to the nearest tenth )

-----------------------------------------------------------------

cos46° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{23}{c}

Multiply both sides by c

c × cos46° = 23 ( divide both sides by cos46° )

c = \frac{23}{cos46} ≈ 33.1 ( to the nearest tenth )

7 cos x+1=6 secx solve for x
jonny [76]
7cos(x) + 1 = 6sec(x)
7cos(x) + 1 = 6/cos(x)
7cos^(x) + cos(x) = 6
7cos^(x) + cos(x) - 6 = 0
[7cos(x) - 6][cos(x) + 1] = 0
cos(x) = 6/7 , x = arccos(6/7) and
cos(x) = -1, x = 180
