Answer:

Distance from Anchorage (longitude 150 degrees W) to Saint Petersburg (longitude 30 degrees E) = 10,002.47 KM

Step-by-step explanation:

As earth is a sphere of radius 6371 km.

Therefore at 60 degree latitude, the radius of circle can be calculated as shown below:

= 6371 * Cos 60

= 3185.5 KM

Saint Petersburg is nearly 180 degree about Anchorage by flying directly east.

So Distance from Anchorage (longitude 150 degrees W) to Saint Petersburg (longitude 30 degrees E) can be calculated as shown below:

= (180 * 2 * 3.1416 * 3185.5) / 360

= 10,002.47 KM

Solve the following:<br> A) 4x-1/2=x+7<br> B) 3x+2=2x+13/3<br> C) 2x-7/4=3+x/3
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

a. 2.5  

b. 2.333

c. 2.85

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 1. subtract -x on both sides              2. to get 3x-1/2=7  

3. Add 1/2 on both sides                    4. to get 3x=7.5    

5. divide 3 on both sides                   6. To get... x=2.5

B)1. Same process.                               2. x+2=13/3        

3. x=13/3-2                                         4. x= 2.33(repeating)

C) 1. same process.                           2. 2x-x/3=3+7/4

3. 2x-x/3=4.75                                  4. Isolate -x/3  

5.-x/3=4.75-2x                                    6. multiply both sides by 3          

7. -x=14.25-6x                                      8. 5x=14.25

9. x= 2.85

* remember to distribute the 3 to each variable.
