The y-interval shows exponential increase rather than linear increase.
1 fathom = 6 feet
2 1/2 fathoms = x feet
2 1/2 fathoms • 6 feet = x feet
x = 15
2 1/2 fathoms = 15 feet
To convert degrees to radians, divide by 180 and multiply by pi.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x + 1) = 3(5 - x) + 2
Distribute,
2(x + 1) = 3(5 - x) + 2
2x + 2 = 3(5 - x) + 2
Rearrange terms,
2x + 2 = 3(5 - x) + 2
2x + 2 = 3(-x + 5) + 2
Distribute,
2x + 2 = 3(-x + 5) + 2
2x + 2 = -3x + 15 + 2
Add the numbers,
2x + 2 = -3x + 15 + 2
2x + 2 = -3x + 17
Subtract 2 from both sides,
2x + 2 = -3x + 17
2x + 2 - 2 = -3x + 17 - 2
2x = -3x + 17 - 2
2x = -3x + 15
Add 3x to both sides,
2x = -3x + 15
2x + 3x = -3x + 3x + 15
5x = -3x + 3x + 15
5x = 15
Divide both sides by the same factor (15),
5x = 15
5x/5 = 15/5
x = 15/5
x = 3
Hence, the answer is 3.
