So are you trying to simplify one side to get it to look like the other?
Answer:
Factorization
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be easily factorized into (x+7)(x+9)=0 which can be solved for the two roots x = -7 and x = -9

well, for both angles A and B we're on the IV Quadrant, meaning, the sine is negative, the cosine is positive, likewise, the opposite side is negative and the adjacent side for the angle is positive.

Answer:
d) 86.2 degrees
x = 86.20°
Attached is the image used in the question;
Step-by-step explanation:
Applying the law of cosine;
Cos C = (a² + b² - c²)/2ab
Where;
Angle C = x
c = 13 ft
b = 9ft
a = 10ft
Substituting into the equation;
Cos x = (10² + 9² - 13²)/(2×10×9)
Cos x = 0.0667
x = cos⁻¹(0.0667)
x = 86.20°
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
so the question lets us know 3 things:
1) Sarah has a 27 ft pipe
2) she cuts 6 ft off
3) she cuts remaining pipe into 7 equal sections
what we don't know from the question is how big each of those 7 sections were. To form the equation we do this.
Since we know Sarah has 27 ft of pipe that would be our answer of the equation.
Sarah also removed 6 ft and the rest of the pipe she cut up into 7 small sections of equal length. since we don't know the length of the 7 smaller sections we will use the variable X to represent the length. this means that 6ft + 7x (X is the length of the pipes, and we multiply by 7 since there are 7 of them) must equal Sarah's total length of 27ft, therefore meaning our education would be

to solve for how long each pipe was, we need to solve for X by rearranging the equation as shown bellow.
