Number of oranges is (2a + 2)

Half the number of oranges is 1/2(2a + 2)

Half the number of apples is 1/2a

The difference between half the number of oranges and half the number of apples equals 4 looks like this:

1/2(2a + 2) - 1/2a = 4

Now solve.

1/2(2a + 2) - 1/2a = 4 (multiply 1/2 by what's inside the parenthesis)

1a + 1 - 1/2a = 4

1a + 1 -1 - 1/2a = 4 - 1

1a - 1/2a = 3

1/2a = 3

1/2a ÷ 1/2 = 3 ÷ 1/2

a = 6

He has 6 apples.

Substitute 6 into the equation for the number of oranges.

2a + 2

2(6) + 2 = 14

He has 14 oranges.

Check your work.

The difference between half the number of oranges (7) and half the number of apples (3) does indeed equal 4.

Therefore, the equation has one solution.

From a point 100 m from a building the angles of elevation of the top and bottom of a flagpole atop a building are 54.5 degrees
AnnZ [28]

Answer:60ft

Step-by-step explanation:The height of the flagpole is approximately  

60

feet.

Explanation:

Always try to draw a diagram.

enter image source here

We know that there is a right angle between the ground and the building. Therefore, we can use the 3 basic trig ratios instead of the sine or cosine law to solve this problem.

Since the angle in the corner of the larger right triangle measures  

42

˚

, the top angle in this triangle measures  

180

˚

−

90

˚

−

42

˚

=

.

By basic trig ratios, we can find the height of the building with the flag pole on top, call it  

H

.

tan

˚

1

=

H

500

H

=

500

tan

42

˚

I would keep it in exact form until the last step.

We now devise an expression for the height of the building (without the flag pole). Call it  

a

tan

38

˚

1

=

a

500

a

=

500

tan

38

˚

We can now state that

h

≈

60

feet

The flagpole is

in height to the nearest foot.

Explanation:

1) The flagpole is on top of a building.

2)Angles of elevation both measured from point  

500

f

t

from building

3) Angle of elevation to the top of building is  

38

4) Angle of elevation to the top of flagpole is

The information above will provide us with two right angle triangles, one smaller one inside a larger one.

Both will have a base of  

500

f

t

.

The smaller triangle will have a base angle  

β

of  

38

deg opposite the  

90

deg, and the larger triangle will have a base angle  

β

of  

42

deg.

From this information we can find the heights of the building and the building + pole using the definition of the tangent of the two base angles  

β

:

What the answer fast
Dominik [7]

To solve this problem, first let x=0.933333(repeating). Then, you want to multiply both sides by 10 to get 10x = 9.33333 (repeating). Next, take equation 2 and minus equation 1 from it giving you 9x = 8.4. Finally, multiply both sides by 10 and you will get 90x = 84. Divide both sides by 90 giving x=84/90. Answer is 84/90. 84/90 can reduce to 14/15.

How many times could you expect to roll a number that is not 5 if you rolled a standard die 360 times?
Alinara [238K]

The number of times I would expect to roll a number that is not a 5 is 300 times.

<h3>What is the number of times a 5 won't be rolled?</h3>

A standard die has 6 faces. There are 5 numbers that are not 5 on a standard die. They are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6.

The number of times a 5 won't be rolled = (5/6) x 360

5 x 60 = 300 times
