Answer:

Apples = 24

Pears = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u be the unit of fruit in the basket,

number of apples: $3u +7$

number of pears: $5u -9$

now to find u, we equate the two equations.

$3u+7=5u-9$

Now simplify.

$5u-3u=7+9$

$2u=16$

$u=8$

Now we can find the original number of apples and pears by substituting u.

so original number of apples = $3u = 3(8) = 24$

and original number of pears = $5u = 5(8) = 40$

The first equation given $6=1-2n+5$

We have to add 1 and 5 to the right side first. We will get,

$6= 6 - 2n$

To get rid of 6 from the right side we have to subtract 6 from both sides.

$6-6 = 6-6-2n$

$6-6 = -2n$

$0=-2n$

To find n we have to move -2 to the other side by dividing both side by -2.

$0/-2 = -2n/-2$

$0= n$

$n=0$

So we have got the required answer for the first question.

The solution is n = 0.

The second equation given,

$8x-2 = -9+7x$

First we have to move 7x to the left side by subtracting it from both sides.

$8x-7x-2 = -9+7x-7x$

$8x-7x-2 = -9$

$x-2 = -9$

Now we have to move -2 to the right side by adding 2 to both sides.

$x-2+2 = -9+2$

$x = -9+2$

$x = -7$

We have got the required answer for the second question.

The solution is x = -7.

The third equation given,

$-8 = -(x+4)$

We have to get rid of that negative sign from both sides. As we have negative sign to both sides we can cancel it out. We will get,

$8=x+4$

Now we have to move 4 to left side by subtracting it from both sides.

$8-4 = x+4-4$

$8-4 = x$

$4=x$

$x = 4$

So we have got the required answer .

The solution is x = 4.

Without using a trigonometric ratio, find the distance from the ship to the buoy, B. Round the distance to the nearest tenth of

alexdok [17]

Without using the trigonometry ratio, we can find the distance between the ship and the buoy by:

the distance between City and Lemont SUBTRACT the vertical distance between City and the point parallel to the Ship

The distance between the City and Lemont can be worked out using the Sin rule
$\frac{57.8}{sin(36)}= \frac{City-Lemont}{sin(92)}$
$City-Lemont= \frac{57.9sin(92)}{sin(36)} = 98.27.....$ ≈98.3

The vertical distance between the City and the point parallel to the ship can be worked out using the Pythagoras theorem
$\sqrt{57.8^{2}- 44.6^{2} } =36.765...$ ≈36.8

The distance between the ship and the Buoy is given:
$98.3-36.8=61.5$ miles

Answer: x = the quantity of 5 plus or minus the square root of 29 all over 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is expressed as

x² - 5x - 1 = 0

The equation is already in the standard form of ax² + bx + c

The general formula for solving quadratic equations is expressed as

x = [- b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

From the given quadratic equation,

a = 1

b = - 5

c = - 1

Therefore,

x = [- - 5 ± √(- 5² - 4 × 1 × - 1)]/2 × 1

x = [5 ± √(25- - 4)]/2

x = [5 ± √29]/ 2

x = ( 5 + √29)/- 2 or x = (5 - √29)/2
