Let's say the larger number is x. that means that the smaller number is x - 3. since you know their sum is x + x - 3, and that is equal to 14. so you have the equation x + x - 3 = 14. combine like terms (x) to get 2x - 3 = 14. add three to both sides to get 2x = 17. divide both sides by two to get x = 17/2. so the larger number is 17/2, and the larger number is 11/2 (17/2 - 3 = 11/2)

Help solve for x. round to the nearest tenth

Llana [10]

Answer:

x = 3.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply trigonometric function to find x

Reference angle = 24°

Opposite = x

Hypotenuse = 9

This, apply SOH:

Sin 24 = Opp/Hyp

Sin 24 = x/9

9 × Sin 24 = x

3.66062979 = x

x = 3.7 (nearest tenth)

Lerok [7]

Answer:

if X is the angle degree like I think it is, then X = 56 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

isosceles triangles will have 2 equal base angles.

90 degree angle - 28 = 62°

62 is now each base angle.

62 times 2 angles equals 124

the final angle, x, is 180 - 124 = 56°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem above, it was stated that the office arranged its customers into different sections to ensure optimum performance and minimize workload. Furthermore, there was a service time of UNIF(8,10) minutes for everyone. Since there are only three different types of customers, the service time can be estimated as UNIF(8/3,10/3) minutes = UNIF(2.66,3.33) minutes.
