7n=5n-3 (n standing for the number)
Subtract 5n from both sides
2n=-3
Divide by 2 on both sides
n=2/-3

Answer:

\alpha=69.28^o

\beta=61.26^o

\gamma=49.46^o

<em />A=227980.26\ m^2<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Triangle Solving</u>

If we had a triangle will its three sides of known length, we can solve for the rest of the parameters of the triangle, i.e. the area, perimeter and internal angles.

The three circles have diameters 900 m, 700 m and 600 m and are tangent to each other externally. The distances from their centers (where houses are located) are the sum of each pair of the radius of the circles. Thus, the sides of the triangle are

x=450+350=800

y=450+300=750

z=350+300=650

The internal angles can be computed by using the cosine's law

x^2=y^2+z^2-2yzcos\alpha

y^2=x^2+z^2-2xzcos\beta

z^2=x^2+y^2-2xycos\gamma

Where \alpha, \beta and \gamma are the opposite angles to x, y and z respectively. Solving for each one of them:

\displaystyle cos\alpha=\frac{y^2+z^2-x^2}{2yz}

\displaystyle cos\alpha=\frac{750^2+650^2-800^2}{2\cdot 750\cdot 650}

cos\alpha=0.3538

\alpha=69.28^o

Similarly

\displaystyle cos\beta=\frac{x^2+z^2-y^2}{2xz}

\displaystyle cos\beta=\frac{800^2+650^2-750^2}{2\cdot 800\cdot 650}

cos\beta=0.4808

\beta=61.26^o

The other angle is computed now

\displaystyle cos\gamma=\frac{x^2+y^2-z^2}{2xy}

\displaystyle cos\gamma=\frac{800^2+750^2-650^2}{2\cdot 800\cdot 750}

cos\gamma=0.65

\gamma=49.46^o

The area can be found by

\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}x.y.sin\gamma

\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 800\cdot 750\cdot sin49.46^o

A=227980.26\ m^2

The sum of two numbers is 88. If four times the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number, the result is 13. Find the
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

73 and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

I made two variables for this:

x = larger number

y = smaller number

Write an equation for "the sum of two number is 88" and you get:

x + y = 88

Write an equation for "four times the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number" and you get:

x - 4y = 13

I do not want an equation with both x and y in it, so I will rewrite the first one and use substitution in the second one:

x + y = 88   -- move the x to the other side

y = 88 - x

x - 4y = 13 -- substitute for y

x - 4(88 - x) = 13 -- multiply by 4

x - 352 + 4x = 13 -- move -352 to the other side, combine x's

5x = 365 -- divide by 5

x = 73

Now that I know x is 73, I go back to my first equation (x + y = 88) and I get:

73 + y = 88 -- subtract 73 from both sides

y = 88 - 73

y = 15

Answer:

1/3 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length = area / width

= 7/9 / 2 1/3

= 7/9 / 7/3

= 7/9 * 3/7

= 3/9

= 1/3 feet,
