Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

x+x+1+x+2 = 15+x+2

3x+3=x+17

3x=x+14

2x=14

x=7

7+8+9=24

9+15 = 24

HELP. How do i convert $1.34 into a percent %
Lelechka [254]
Ok. So, say you have 1 whole. If you take half of that it would be 50% or 0.50 of the whole. So with 1.34 you can turn it into 1 and 0.34. You have one whole, so that is 100 percent. You than add the 34 hundredths which is 34 percent. So you have 134%. Do you understand all that?

-3=x/-9 please tell me how to solve this I’m way behind and trying to learn thank you :)
snow_tiger [21]

-3 = x/-9

To make this easier, I'll put it in normal numbers

(-3 = x/-9) -1

3 = x/9

Multiply both sides by nine to take out the division.

27 = x

Hope that this helped!

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are consecutive integers and the largest angle is twice the smallest angle. Find the meas
eduard

Answer:

  41°

Step-by-step explanation:

I could not think of an easy way to solve this, apart from having a graphing calculator do it. In the end, I found I could solve it analytically using a combination of the law of sines and the law of cosines.

Let x represent the length of the shortest side, and θ the smallest angle. Then the <em>law of sines</em> tells you ...

  sin(θ)/x = sin(2θ)/(x+2)

Cross-multiplying and using the trig identity for sin(2θ), we have ...

  (x +2)sin(θ) = 2x·sin(θ)cos(θ)

Dividing out sin(θ), we see that ...

  cos(θ) = (x+2)/(2x)

___

The law of cosines for the shortest side and smallest angle tells you ...

  x^2 = (x+1)^2 + (x+2)^2 - 2(x+1)(x+2)·cos(θ)

Substituting the above expression for cos(θ), this can be rewritten as ...

  0 = (x^2 +2x +1) +(x^2 +4x +4) -x^2 -(x+1)(x+2)^2/x

  0 = x^2 +6x +5 -(x+1)(x+2)^2/x . . . . . . collect terms outside the fraction

  0 = x(x+5)(x+1) -(x+1)(x+2)^2 . . . . . . . . factor and multiply by x

We know that x=-1 is not a solution, so we can divide by that factor:

  0 = x^2 +5x -(x^2 +4x +4) . . . . . multiply it all out

  0 = x -4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  4 = x

so, cos(θ) = (4+2)/(2·4) = 6/8 = 3/4

and the angle of interest is ...

  θ = arccos(3/4) ≈ 41.40962° ≈ 41°

_____

The attachment shows a triangle-solver's result using the consecutive integers for side lengths. It confirms the answer we have here.
