4 0

Answer:

Your first step should be to separate the x's and the numbers.

This is how I would do it:

-3x+2-5x-7=4x+2

-3x-5x-4x=2-2+7

-12x=7

x=-7/12

The sum of Eli’s age and Cecil’s age is 60. Six years ago, Eli was three times old as Cecil. Find Eli’s age now
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Eli's age = 42 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be Eli's age and y be Cecil's age

So,

According to the statement given

x+y=60     eqn 1

Eli's age 6 years ago = x-6

Cecil's age 6 years ago = y-6

So according to the given statement

x-6 = 3(y-6)

x-6 = 3y - 18

x-3y = -18+6

x-3y= -12      eqn 2

Subtracting eqn 2 from eqn 1

x+y - (x-3y) = 60 - (-12)

x+y-x+3y = 60+12

4y = 72

y = 18

Cecil's age = 18 years

Putting y = 18 in eqn 1

x+18=60

x = 60-18

x = 42

Eli's age = 42 years ..

Find the value of x (rounded to the nearest tenth as needed).
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

x = 367.1m

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the SohCahToa trigonometry ratios because this is a right triangle.

First, we need an interior angle of reference for the triangle. Because you know that angle labelled 37°, we can use <u>alternating angles</u> to find an interior angle. Alternating angles create a "Z" pattern where the two angles are equal. In this triangle, the missing angle on the left is 37° also.

According to SohCahToa, we will use the sinθ ratio (opposite/hypotenuse).

sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse       Substitute values from the diagram

sin37° = x/610yd        Isolate 'x'. Multiply both sides by 610 yd

x = (610yd)(sin37°)      Multiply

x = 367.107...m      Unrounded answer

x ≈ 367.1m      Answer rounded to the nearest tenth

Therefore x is 367.1 meters.
