Answer:

Ed's age is 24 and his brother is 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

let eds age be x years and his brothers y years then:-

x + y = 36

x = 2y

Substitute for x in first equation:-

2y + y = 36

3y = 36 so y = 12

Plug y = 12 into second equation:-

x = 2*12 = 24

Answer: $52.6^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle of depression be x.

$\sin x=\frac{27}{34}\\\\x=\sin^{-1} \left(\frac{27}{34} \right) \approx 52.6^{\circ}$

At the city museum, child admission is $6.10 and adult admission is $9.30 . On Sunday, four times as many adult tickets as child

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

21 child tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you'd use a system of equations.

First, define your variables.

x = # of child tickets sold

y = # of adult tickets sold

There were 4 times as many adult tickets (y) as child tickets (x) sold, so:

4 x = y

4 x - y = 0

93 (4 x - y = 0)

372 x - 93 y = 0

The total revenue was $909.30, adult tickets were $9.30 each, child tickets were $6.10 each, so:

6.10 x + 9.30 y = 909.30

10 (6.10 x + 9.30 y = 909.30)

61 x + 93 y = 9093

372 x - 93 y = 0

433 x = 9093

433 x / 433 = 9093 / 433

x = 21

In ΔLMN, the measure of ∠N=90°, the measure of ∠M=17°, and MN = 20 feet. Find the length of LM to the nearest tenth of a foot.

andrey2020 [161]

20.9 ft
This is a right triangle trigonometry question because N is 90 degrees. MN is adjacent to M and LM is the hypotenuse. Adjacent any hypotenuse use the cosine function.
$cos \theta = \frac{adj}{hyp}$
plug in known values
$cos(17) = \frac{20}{x}$
switch cos(20) and x using the products property
$x = \frac{20}{cos(17)}$
plug into calculator to get 20.9 ft
