Step-by-step explanation:

First, apply the distributive property to the left side of the equation. Multiply each of the two numbers inside the parentheses by 12 and then combine those products. Next, solve as you would solve any two-step equation. To isolate \begin{align*}12x\end{align*} on the left side of the equation, add 24 from both sides.

Answer: 24.2° SouthWest

Step-by-step explanation:

First step: DRAW A PICTURE of the vectors from head to tail (see image)

I created a perpendicular from the resultant vector to the vertex of the given vectors so I could use Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the perpendicular. Then I used that value to find the angle of the plane.

Perpendicular (x):

cos 35° = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos 35° = x/160

→ x = 160 cos 35°

Angle (θ):

sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse

sin θ = x/320

sin θ = 160 cos 35°/320

θ = arcsin (160 cos 35°/320)

θ = 24.2°

Direction is down (south) and left (west)

By 3:00 pm, the temperature increased by another 5 degrees Fahrenheit was the temperature at 3:00pm positive or negative?

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Part a) The temperature at noon was -3°F

Part b) The temperature at 3:00 pm was +2°F

Part c) The temperature at 11:00 pm was -6°F

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

When Leo woke up he saw that the temperature was -8°F. By noon the temperature has increased 5°F. Part a) What was the temperature at noon?

Part b) By 3:00 pm, the temperature increased by another 5 degrees Fahrenheit was the temperature at 3:00 pm positive or negative?

Part c) By 11:00 pm, the temperature had dropped 8°F. Was the

temperature at 11:00 PM positive or negative? Explain.

Part a) we know that

You can use a number line to adds the numbers

-8+5=-3°F

therefore

The temperature at noon was -3°F

Part b) we know that

the temperature increased by another 5 degrees

You can use a number line to adds the numbers

-3+5=+2°F

therefore

The temperature at 3:00 pm was +2°F

Part c) we know that

the temperature had dropped 8°F

You can use a number line to adds the numbers

2-8=-6°F

therefore

The temperature at 11:00 pm was -6°F
