Tan(58)=10/x
x=10/tan(58)
x= 6.2
Answer:
35 miles per gallon.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to simplify 175/5 into 35/1 to make it into a unit rate. So, 35 miles per gallon is the answer.
Answer: The price of an adult ticket = $6
The price of a student ticket = $12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of an adult ticket be a
Let the price of a student ticket be b.
From the question,
5a + 14b = 198 ...... equation i
10a + 8b = 156....... equation ii
Multiply equation i by 10
Multiply equation ii by 5
50a + 140b = 1980 ...... equation iii
50a + 40b = 780 ....... equation iv
Subtract iv from iii
100b = 1200
b = 1200/100
b = 12
Put the value of b into equation ii
10a + 8b = 156
10a + 8(12) = 156
10a + 96 = 156
10a = 156-96
10a = 60
a = 6
The price of an adult ticket = $6
The price of a student ticket = $12
Write an equation system based on the problem
"Agatha is five times older than her son, Bob" could be written as:
a = 5b.......(first equation)
"Three years ago, she was nine times older" could be written as:
a - 3 = 9(b - 3)......(second equation)
Solve the equation system
To find the value of b, substitute 5b as a to the second equation
a - 3 = 9(b - 3)
5b - 3 = 9(b - 3)
5b - 3 = 9b - 27
5b - 9b = -27 + 3
-4b = -24
b = -24/-4
b = 6
Her son, Bob, is 6 years old
To find Agatha's age, substitute the value of b to the first equation
a = 5b
a = 5 × 6
a = 30
Agatha is 30 years old
