Answer:
360
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
Answer: x = 1 and y = 2
Given:
y = -3x + 5
5x - 4y = -3
Since we are given y, let’s sub it in the second equation.
5x - 4(-3x + 5) = -3
5x + 12x - 20 = -3
17x = 17
x = 1
After finding x, we can now find y.
5(1) - 4y = -3
-4y = -8
y = 2
Checking:
y = -3x + 5
2 = -3(1) + 5
2 = 2
5x - 4y = -3
5(1) - 4(2) = -3
-3 = -3
the angle 4pi/5 in quadrent 2
Answer:
x = 61
Step-by-step explanation:
Left hand triangle containing 1 angle of 74
Label the other angle opposite the marked side also as 74
Find the third angle. Call it y.
y + 74 + 74 = 180 Combine like terms
y + 148 = 180 Subtract 148 from both sides.
y = 180 - 148
y = 32
=============
Now work with the triangle on the right.
label the angle making up the right angle = z
32 + z = 90 These two angles are complementary = 90
32 - 32 + z = 90 - 32 Subtract 32 from both sides
z = 58 Use 58 wherever you see z
x + x + z = 180 Substitute
2x + 58 = 180 Subtract 58 from both sides
2x = 122 Divide by 2
x = 61
