<u>Equations</u>
We have two cases where some variable is required to be found such that some condition is met. The first case is about finding the value of a that complies:

Rearranging

Factoring:

There are two solutions:

The second case requires us to find the value of x such that

Rearranging

This second-degree equation has no real roots. We'll offer the imaginary (complex) solutions:

Answer: the answer would be 3 7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
First you must find the common denominator(which is 12) and then add the fractions
Answer:
There are 108 inches in 9 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, two unit multipliers mean we have to convert through two units before we arrive at our final answer so we can convert from feet to yards to inches!
We know that 3 feet equal a yard, right?
So we can divide 9 by 3 to get the amount that 9 feet translates to in yards.

So we are now done with our first conversion! Our second is going to be from yards to inches!
There are 36 inches in 1 yard so we should multiply 3 by 36 to get the amount in inches!

Solve by elimination.
The goal is to cancel out one of the variables in order to easily solve for the other variable.
Do this by changing the equations so that the coefficients of either x or y add up to 0.
Notice the coefficients of y are 3 and 3, if we make one of them negative then they add up to 0. 3+ (-3) = 0
Multiply 2nd equation by -1.
6x +3y = 9
-2x -3y = -1
__________
4x +0y = 8
Solve for x
4x = 8
x = 8/4 = 2
Plug x=2 back into one of original equations to find y.
---> 2(2) + 3y = 1
---> 4 + 3y = 1
---> 3y = -3
---> y = -1
Therefore solution is (2,-1)
Answer:
P = 57°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
PQ = 17
QR = 15
PR = 14
Using the cosine formula since the length of the three sides are given:
a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccos(A)
To find P:
QR^2 = PQ^2 + PR^2 – 2(PQ)(PR)cos(P)
15^2 = 17^2 + 14^2 – 2(17)(14)cos(P)
225 = 289 + 196 - 476 cosP
476*CosP = 485 - 225
476*CosP = 260
CosP = 260/476
CosP = 0.5462184
P = Cos^-1(0.5462184)
P = 56.892029
P = 57°
