Answer:

x = -5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

8/(x+3)=1/(x+1)

Using cross products

8*(x+1) = 1*(x+3)

Distribute

8x+8 = x+3

Subtract x from each side

8x-x +8 = x+3-x

7x +8 =3

Subtract 8 from each side

7x+8-8 = 3-8

7x = -5

Divide by 7

7x/7 = -5/7

x = -5/7

Find the missing side. Round to the nearest tenth. For all 4 pics

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

1st pic) 17.8

2nd pic) 16.8

3rd pic) 9.1

4th pic) 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1st pic: $cos = \frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse}$

(write equation) Cos 27 (cos 27 = 0.89) = $\frac{x}{20}$

(new equation) 0. 89 = $\frac{x}{20}$

(multiply 20 on both sides) 0.89 x 20 = $\frac{x}{20}$ x 20

(solve) 17.8 = x

2nd pic: $tan = \frac{adjacentx}{hypothenuse}$

(write equation) tan 40 (tan 40 = 0.84) = $\frac{32}{x}$

(new equation) 0.84 = $\frac{32}{x}$

(multiply 32 on both sides) 0.84 x 20 = $\frac{32}{x}$ x 20

(solve) 16.8 = x

3rd pic: $cos = \frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse}$

(write equation) cos 55 (cos 55 = 0.57) = $\frac{16}{x}$

(new equation) 0.57 = $\frac{16}{x}$

(multiply 16 on both sides) 0.57 x 16 = $\frac{16}{x}$ x 16

(solve) 9.1 = x

4th pic: $tan = \frac{adjacentx}{hypothenuse}$

(write eqaution) tan 42 (tan 42 = 0.90) = $\frac{x}{15}$

(new equation) 0.90 = $\frac{x}{15}$

(multiply 15 on both sides) 0.90 x 15 = $\frac{x}{15}$ x 15

(solve) 13.5 = x

Which statement is supported by the histograms? The two data sets have the same distribution and same range. The two data sets h

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The two data sets have different distributions and different ranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you subtract for both of the ranges they are different numbers. So that's the second part. The numbers along the bottom are different too so that is the different distributions.
