Answer:

The Answer is: Josh hit 47 balls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let j = Josh number of hits and c = Caiden number of hits:

j = c/2 + 9

Total:

j + c = 123.

Substitute:

(c/2 + 9) + c = 123

c/2 + c = 123 - 9

c/2 + c = 114

1/2c + 2/2c = 114

3/2c = 144

c = 144 (2/3) = 76, Number of hits for Caiden

Solve for j:

j = 76/2 + 9

j = 38 + 9 = 47, number of hits for Josh

Proof:

j + c = 123

47 + 76 = 123

123 = 123

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)

Consider the figure below.<br><br><br><br> Find the value of x.
Flauer [41]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

When two straight lines intersect, four angles are formed.  The angles that are directly opposite of each other are equal.  Since the angles are equal set the values equal to each other and solve for x.

5x - 5 = 2x + 10

5x - 5 - 2x = 2x + 10 - 2x

3x - 5 = 10

3x - 5 + 5 = 10 + 5

3x = 15

3x/3 = 15/3

x = 5

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!!

Answer: tan(E)=1.70

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you need to remember the following Trigonometric Identity:

tan\alpha =\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

You must observe the figure given in the exercise.

You can notice that the given triangle EFG is a Right triangle (Right triangles are defined as those triangles that have an angle that measures 90 degrees).

So, you can identify in the figure that:

\alpha=E\\\\ opposite=FG=56\\\\adjacent=EF=33

So, knowing these values, you can substitute them into  tan\alpha =\frac{opposite}{adjacent} and then you must evaluate (Remember to round the result to the nearest hundreth).

Therefore, through this procedure you get:

 tan(E)=\frac{56}{33}\\\\tan(E)=1.70

What to the third power is equal to 729
atroni [7]

If you had absolutely no idea, then you'd have roughly two choices
of how to find it:

#1).  Try numbers until you find the right one.

        Pick a number.
        Cube it.
        If you get less than 729, go back and try a bigger number.
        If you get more than 729, go back and try a smaller number.
        Eventually you find the right one.  

Try 1.        1³ = 1 .            Too small.
Try 2.        2³ = 8 .            Still too small.
Try 5.        5³ = 125 .        Still too small.
Try 20.     20³ = 8,000.      Ooops.  Too big.
Try 10.     10³ = 1,000       Too big.
Try 8.         8³ = 512.         Oooo.  Too small, but maybe getting close.
Try 8.5.    8.5³ = 614.125   Still too small, but very close.
Try 9.         9³ = 729 .       That's it !            yay !


#2).  x³ = 729

Take the log of each side:      log(x³) = log(729)

                                         3 log(x)  =  log(729)

Divide each side by  3 :         log (x)  =  (1/3) log(729)

Look up log(729) :                 log(x)  =  (1/3) (2.86272...)

                                                      =    0.95424...
Raise 10 to the power
of each side:                      10^log(x)  =  10⁰·⁹⁵⁴²⁴···  

                                               x        =  8.99994...

                                         (That's the way it is with logs.
                                          They never come out even.)
