You need to find the value of y..
40=8y
40÷8=y
5=y
The value of y is 5
Answer:
271 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
15.95+0.92 x=265.27
0.92 x=265.27-15.95
.92 x=249.32
x=24932/92=271
Answer: Approximately 22.62 degrees
===============================================
Work Shown:
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(y) = 12/13
y = arccos(12/13)
y = 22.6198649
y = 22.62
Notes:
- Arccosine is the same as inverse cosine. On your calculator there should be a button labeled

- Make sure your calculator is in degree mode
- The decimal result for y, shown above, is approximate. I rounded to two decimal places to show the final answer. Round however you need to if your teacher instructs otherwise.

Answer: x*a^2 or a^2*x</h3>
======================================
Work Shown:
a^(b+2) = a^b*a^2 ... break up the exponent
a^(b+2) = x*a^2 ... replace a^b with x
We don't know the value of 'a' nor the value of x, so we cannot evaluate further. This is the same as a^2*x because order of multiplication does not matter. For example, 2*3 = 6 and 3*2 = 6, so 2*3 = 3*2.
