Tan 25.5 = h/x

Tan 20.5 = h / x+1

x tan 25.5 = (x+1) tan 20.5

x 0.476975532 = (x+1) 0.373884679

0.476975532x = 0.373884679x + 0.373884679

Deduct both sides by .373884679

0.103090853x = 0.373884679

x = 3.6267 is the first person.

Add one to get for the second person

X = 4.6267

For her exercise today, Keiko plans to both run and swim. Let r be the number of laps she runs and let s be the number of laps s
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

5r + 3s ≥ 30

Step-by-step explanation:

We know Keiko wants to do exercise at least 30 minutes a day, and she wants ideally to mix up the activities, by combining running and swimming into her schedule.

Since each lap she runs takes 5 minutes and each lap she swims takes 3 minutes, these will be the left side of the inequality:

5r + 3s

She wants to exercise at least 30 minutes a day, so...

5r + 3s ≥ 30

she could do 3 laps of running and 5 laps of swimming for example.

A line contains the points R (-1, 8) S (1, 4) and T (6, y). Solve for y. Be sure to show and explain all work.
Nikitich [7]

Given:

A line contains the points R(-1, 8), S(1, 4) and T(6, y).

To find:

The value of y.

Solution:

Three points are collinear if:

x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_2)+x_3(y_1-y_2)=0

A line contains the points R(-1, 8), S(1, 4) and T(6, y). It means, these points are collinear.

-1(4-y)+1(y-8)+6(8-4)=0

-4+y+y-8+48-24=0

2y+12=0

Subtract 12 from both sides.

2y=-12

Divide both sides by 2.

y=\dfrac{-12}{2}

y=-6

Therefore, the value of y is -6.
