I believe the answer is 48 and I'll explain why...

so I made the problem....

-1/3s -1/3s -1/3s = 16 then combine like terms...

-3/3s = 16 now multiply each by -3...

-3s = -48 now divide by 3....

S = 16

so it's safe to say he started with 48$...hope it was some good stuff he bought.

I need help! I don't know how to get the answer or what it is. Can anyone help me it's for a test and I'm on my last attempt?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(4)

Using the sine ratio in  the right triangle

sinΘ = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{7}{9}, thus

Θ = sin^{-1}(\frac{7}{9}) ≈ 51.1°

(5)

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tanΘ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{4}{5}, thus

Θ = tan^{-1}(\frac{4}{5}) ≈ 38.7°

I am thinking of two numbers. The difference of the two numbers is 36. Their sum is 286. What are the two numbers I am thinking
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Let's call the two numbers a and b. So we know that the difference of the two numbers is 36:

a - b = 36

And we know that their sum is 286:

a + b = 286

We can use either of these equations to solve for one of the variables in terms of the other variable. Let's use the first and solve for a:

a - b = 36

a = 36 + b

Now we plug this into the other equation and solve for b there:

(36 + b) + b = 286 

36 + 2b = 286

2b = 250

b = 125

If y=-16 when x=4 find x when y=48
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

x= -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this is a direct variation

y = kx

When y = -16 x =4  we can find k

-16 = k*4

Divide each side by 4

-16/4 = 4k/4

-4 =k

So

y = -4k

Y = 48

48 = -4x

Divide each side by -4

48/-4 = -4x/-4

-12 =x
