I think the answer is 1,161 feet

Sorry if that’s incorrect, but here’s the explanation in case you need it:

The tangent of a triangle is the opposite leg over the adjacent leg. 311 is the opposite leg, and X would be the adjacent leg. So 311 divided by x is equal to tan 15. If we rearrange this to be equal to X, X equals 311 divided by tan 15. Tan 15 is equal to 0.2679, so 311/0.2679 = 1,160.6. That amount rounds up to 1,161, giving you the answer of 1,161 feet.

Answer:

He sold 180 chicken sandwiches and 150 burguers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 330 items were sold, then the amount of burguers and chicken sandwiches sold must be equal to this value. From this information we have:

burguers + sandwiches = 330

We know that each burguer cost $9 and each chicken sandwich cost $11.25 and that we made a total of $3,375. So we have:

9*burguers + 11.25*sandwiches = 3,375

From the first equation we have:

burguers = 330 - sandwiches

Applying it on the second equation:

9*(330 - sandwiches) + 11.25*sandwiches = 3,375

2,970 - 9*sandwiches + 11.25*sandwiches = 3,375

2.25*sandwiches = 3,375 - 2,970

2.25*sandwiches = 405

sandwiches = 405/2.25 = 180

So,

burguers = 330 - 180  = 150

He sold 180 chicken sandwiches and 150 burguers.

Write the quadratic equation in standard form and then choose the value of "b." (2x - 1)(x + 5) = 0
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
If we were to foil
after experieence

we know
ax²+bx+c=0

and
in form
(ax+b)(cx+d)=0
if we expand it, we get
acx²+bcx+adx+bd=0
or
(ac)x²+(bc+ad)x+(bd)=0
compare to
ax²+bx+c=0
we notice that the middle terms (x terms) are

b=(bc+ad)
so

in form
(2x-1)(1x+5)
b=bc+ad=(-1*1+2*5)=-1+10=9

b=9
or you could just expand it
