Answer:

2.6 repeating Or 8/3(same thing in fraction form)

Step-by-step explanation:

So, lets iscolate the different parts of this euqation:

Five less than 3 times a number is 3

Or:

5 less than 3 * x = 3

This is a bit tricky here, but it should be:

(3*x)-5=3

Since order of operations, multipcation comes first.

And remember this is 5 less than the 3*x, so its subtracting 5 from 3*x.

This is all equal to 3.

Now lets solve:

(3*x)-5=3

Solve whats in the parthese first:

3x-5=3

Then get 3x alone:

3x=8

Then get x alone:

x=8/3

Or

2.66 repeating

This is your answer(8/3 or 2.6)

Hope this helps!

A pole casts a 6-foot shadow. If the distance from the top of the pole to the tip of the shadow is
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

8feet high

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the height of the pole, we will use the pythagoras theorem. Let H be the height

H²  = 10² -6²

H² = 100 - 36

H² = 64

H = √64

H = 8feet

Hence the pole is 8feet high

Which shows how the distributive property can be used to evaluate 7x8 4/5?
Yuri [45]

Answer:

61 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

we realize that 8 4/5 can be written as [8 + (4/5)]

hence 7 x 8 4/5

= 7 x [8 + (4/5)]

= 7 [8 + (4/5)]   (use the distributive property, see attached for reference)

= 7(8) + 7(4/5)

= 56 + 28/5  (convert 28/5 into mixed fraction)

= 56 + 5 3/5

= 61 3/5 (answer)

The correct answer is: AB = 3.11

Explanation:
Since

cos(\theta) =  \frac{base}{hypotenuse} --- (1)
\theta = 50°
base = 2

And hypotenuse = AB

Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => cos(50°) = 2/AB

=> AB = 2/0.643
=> AB = 3.11
