Answer: A. -1

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 2)2 + 5(x - 2) = -6

2x-4 + 5x -10= -6

Combine like terms

7x-14=-6

Add 14 to both sides

7x=8

Divide

X= 8/7 or 1.14 (rounded)

1.14 - 2= -0.86 which can be rounded to -1

Find the value of Y! please help

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

y = 5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Sine

Sine = $\frac{opposite}{hypothenuse}$

Sine 45 = $\frac{y}{18}$

Sine of 18 is 0.309

0.309 = $\frac{y}{18}$

Multiply 18 on both sides

0.309 x 18 = $\frac{y}{18}$ x 18

5.562 = y

Round to the nearest tenth:

5.562 = 5.6
