It would go along with, "if I get better grades, then I study."
Step-by-step explanation:
x = mass of apples
y = mass of strawberries
z = mass of the box
x = 3y
x + z = 16240
y + z = 6350
let's subtract the second from the first equation
x + z = 16240
- y + z = 6350
-----------------------
x - y + 0 = 9890
using the first identity in that result gives us
3y - y = 9890
2y = 9890
y = 4,945 g
x = 3y = 3×4945 = 14,835 g = the mass of the apples
Since you need a little bit of trigonometry to solve this problem,
I'm pretty sure you've had a little bit of trigonometry in class before
you were assigned to solve this problem.
-- The shaded triangle comes from taking the equilateral triangle and
either folding it in half or cutting it in half.
-- The base that the new triangle is standing on is 1/2 the base of the
equilateral triangle, so it's 7 cm long.
-- The acute angle at the right end of the base is the same as it was in
the equilateral triangle . . . 60 degrees.
-- The tangent of 60 degrees is (opposite side)/(adjacent side) = x / 7 cm
tan(60) = x/7
-- Multiply each side of this little equation by 7 : 7 tan(60) = x
If you don't have the tangent of 60 degrees in your pocket, you can
find it with your calculator. Multiply it by 7, and Shazam, you know 'x' .
Answer:x=17 y=10
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
We use addition because -16 is negative, and we need to cancel out its value so we add 16 to both sides, leaving 0+x, or x, on the left and combining like terms on the right.
