1 answer:

3 0

The answer
the question is not clear
if it is to determine how to write this phrase as a mathematics equation, it is as follow:
let be x the unknown number
so <span>ighty-seven decreased by three times a number is greater than one hundred sixty-five means 87 - 3x>165,
so we can solve it easily as 87 - 165> 3x, and then 3 x > 32, and finally the value of x is x > 32/3=10.66</span>

To solve y and x, I am adding a picture

Answer:

$x =\sqrt 5$

$y = \sqrt{5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Solve for x

Considering angle 45 degrees, we have:

$\cos(45) = \frac{y}{\sqrt{10}}$ --- cosine formula i.e. adj/hyp

Solve for y

$y = \sqrt{10} * \cos(45)$

In radical form, we have:

$y = \sqrt{10} * \frac{1}{\sqrt 2}$

$y = \sqrt{10/2}$

$y = \sqrt{5$

To solve for x, we make use of Pythagoras theorem

$x^2 + y^2 = (\sqrt{10})^2$

$x^2 + y^2 =10$

Substitute for y

$x^2 + (\sqrt 5)^2 =10$

$x^2 + 5 =10$

Collect like terms

$x^2 =10-5$

$x^2= 5$

Solve for x

$x =\sqrt 5$

Leo buys 5 DVDs for 60$. At this rate, how much would he pay for 3 DVDs?

Dima020 [189]

60 divided by 5, is 12. In which case, 12 times 3... Is 36$. So Leo would pay 36$ for 3 DVDs at the rate of 12$ for each DVD
