X*a = 244 is equation (1)
x+a = 2 is equation (2)
Solve equation (2) for 'a' to get
x+a = 2
a = 2-x
Call this equation (3)
We will plug equation (3) into equation (1)
x*a = 244
x*(a) = 244
x*(2-x) = 244
Notice how the 'a' is replaced with an expression in terms of x
Let's solve for x
x*(2-x) = 244
2x-x^2 = 244
x^2-2x+244 = 0
If we use the discriminant formula, d = b^2 - 4ac, then we find that...
d = b^2 - 4ac
d = (-2)^2 - 4*1*244
d = -972
indicating that there are no real number solutions to the equation x^2-2x+244 = 0
So this means that 'x' and 'a' in those two original equations are non real numbers. If you haven't learned about complex numbers yet, then the answer is simply "no solution". At this point you would stop here.
If you have learned about complex numbers, then the solution set is approximately
{x = 1 + 15.588i, a = 1 - 15.588i}
which can be found through the quadratic formula
Note: it's possible that there's a typo somewhere in the problem that your teacher gave you.
The legs of a triangle with a hypotenuse that measures 15 units long have lengths that are equal to 15 times the sine or cosine of the given angle.
leg 1 = (15 units) x (cos 19) = 14.18 units
leg 2 = (15 units) x (sin 19) = 4.88 units
The lengths of the legs are 14.18 units and 4.88 units.
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
combine like terms:
18x + 36 = 180
18x = 180-36
18x = 144
x = 144/18
x = 8
Answer:
39
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles are supplementary when they add up to 180. So, we know the other angle that isn't 58 is 
. Therefore, 
Without the tip it was $60. If you are being asked to add the tip it will be $69
