Answer:

x is the 9 multiple = 9x

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let x is the numbers of flour tortillas packages
  • Let y is the numbers of corn tortillas packages

=> the total packages : x + y

Given that the ratio of the number of packages of corn tortillas to the total number of packages on the shelf was 7 to 16, it means:

<=> \frac{y}{x + y} = \frac{7}{16}

<=> 16y = 7x+7y

<=> 9y = 7x

<=> x = \frac{9y}{7}

since both x and y are integers y is in the form of 7k where k∈N so

x = 9k

So x is the 9 multiple.

Hope it will find you well.

Answer:

2.

a)1

b)1

c)1

Step-by-step explanation:

There's some identity trigonometric equation, which are valid for all angles,and they doesn't depends on the measure of angle!

some of em are follows:. (x is the given angle)

  • sin(x)^2+cos(x)^2=1
  • cosec(x)^2=1+cot(x)^2
  • sec(x)^2=1+tan(x)^2

You can remember these identity, its gonna help alot.

now back to question,. {x is representing angles)

for (a) sin(x)^2+cos(x)^2=1, this is true for all x, dat means that for all the angle given in question(for ,15°,30°,45°,60° and 120°),we will get 1

for(b) ,

cosec(x)^2=1+cot(x)^2

i.e, cosec(x)^2-cot(x)^2=1, again this is true for all x dat means that for all the angle given in question ,we will get 1

for (c),

sec(x)^2=1+tan(x)^2

i.e,sec(x)^2-tan(x)^2=1,again this is true for all x, dat means that for all the angle given in question ,we will get 1

Which of the following choices translates the sentence “the difference of three times a number and 20 is 13”?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

3x - 20 = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The word is signals the equal sign.

The difference of three times a number and 20 = 13

2. The word difference signals subtraction.

3. The phrase a number sigals that the number is unknown, so a variable should be used. In this case, I'll use x.

4. Three times that number = 3x.

The difference = subtraction.

3x-20=13

Timothy has a fenced-in garden in the shape of a rhombus. The length of the longer diagonal is 24 feet, and the length of the sh
Rzqust [24]
One property of the diagonals of a rhombus is that they are perpendicular bisectors of each other. So 4 congruent right triangles will be formed when you draw the two diagonals. Considering one right triangle, we can solve for the two sides by dividing them by 2.
24 ft/ 2 = 12 ft
18 ft/ 2 = 9 ft

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can now solve for the hypotenuse which is the side of the rhombus.
side = √(12²+9²) = 15 ft

The answer is B.

State A is in the shape of a rectangle with a perimeter of 1268 mi. The width is 90 mi less than the length. Find the length and
Agata [3.3K]

The length and width of the rectangle is 362 m and 272 m respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be  "x m".

then the width = x - 90 m

Perimeter = 2 x (length + width) ------------------------------(1)

Substituting Length and width value in the above equation (1), we get,

2 x (x+x-90) = 1268

or, 2x - 90 = 1268/2

or, 2x - 90 = 634

or, 2x = 634 + 90

or, 2x = 724

or, x = 724/2

= 362

Thus the length  = 362 m

width = 362 - 90 m =  272 m
