Setting the coordinate system: positive x points to the east and positive y points to the north. This can be solved by vector addition.

A = <40cos(45), 40sin(45)>
B = <-60cos(60), 60sin(60)>
C = <0, -50>

R = A + B + C = <-1.72, 80.25>

The displacement that needs to return him is by the vector -R.

Therefore, <1.72, -80.25>

the floor of a shed has an area of 96 square feet. the floor is in the shape of a rectangle whose length is 4 feet less than twi
Paul [167]
Alright in this one, you are going to need to factor. 
The width is x
The length is 2x-4
To find the area of a rectangle is L*W
so (2x-4)(x) when distributed is 2x^2 -4x

Then put that in the equation and you have:
2x^2 -4x = 96
2x^2 -4x -96 = 0  

2x^2+12x-16x-96=0
3x(x+4)-4(x+4)=0
(3x-4)=0
(x+4)=0
x=-4
<u>x=3/4</u>
Since length isn't negative
we will use <u>3/4 as x.
</u>
Width= 0.75 ft
Length= 1.5

If f(x) = 2x−5, then what is the value of f(2) + f(5)
DochEvi [55]
First of all f(2)=2(2)-5=-1 and f(5)=2(5)-5=5
so
f(2)+f(3)=-1+5=4

Noelle used 17 lemons to make lemonade. This was 85% of all the lemons
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

20 lemons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of lemons = 'x'

85% of x = 17

\frac{85}{100}*x = 17\\\\x = \frac{17*100}{85}\\x = 20
