Answer:

The correct answer is 18

the correct expression is (4n+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n

therefore  if he is required to multiply n by 4 and added to 6 we have

(4n+6)= 0-----1

given that he did otherwise by adding 6 to n and multiply by 4 we have

(n+6)4= 36------2

Firstly we need to solve for n in equation 2

4n+24= 36\\4n= 36-24\\4n= 12\\

Dividing both sides by 4 we have

n= \frac{12}{4\\}\\n= 3

In order to solve for the correct answer let us input n=3 in equation 1 we have

=(4n+6)= 0-------1\\=(4*3+6)= 0\\=(12+6)=0\\= 18

Given that A=27, B=43 and c=17, solve triangle ABC to the nearest hundredth
katrin2010 [14]
When we are given 3 sides, we try to solve the angles first by using the
law of cosines
cos (A) = [b^2 + c^2 - a^2] / (2 * b * c)
cos (A) = [43^2 + 17^2 -27^2] / (2 * 43 * 17)
cos (A) = [1,849 + 289 -729] / <span> <span> <span> 1,462
</span></span></span>cos (A) = 1,409 / 1,462
cos (A) = <span> <span> <span> 0.96374829001368
Angle A = 15.475

Now that we have one angle, we next can use the
Law of Sines
sin(B) / side b = sin(A) / side a
sin(B) = sin(A) * sideb / sidea
</span></span></span><span>sin(B) = sin(15.475) * 43 / 27
</span><span>sin(B) = 0.26682 * 43 / 27
sin (B) = </span><span>0.424935555555</span>
Angle B = 25.147 Degrees
Remember the arc sine (<span>0.424935555555) also equals </span> <span> <span> <span> 154.85

</span></span></span>Finally, calculating the third angle is quite easy
Angle C =  180 - Angle (A) - Angle(B)
Angle C =  180 - 15.475 - 154.85
Angle C =  9.675

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

7x² - 3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Write expression</u>

(6x² - x + 3) + (-2x + x² - 7)

<u>Step 2: Combine like terms (x²)</u>

7x² - x + 3 - 2x - 7

<u>Step 3: Combine like terms (x)</u>

7x² - 3x + 3 - 7

<u>Step 4: Combine like terms (constants)</u>

7x² - 3x - 4
