Answer:

x = 8

The number is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

36 – (3x) = 4 + x

36 – (3 • 8) = 4 + 8

36 – 24 = 12

12 = 12

x = 8

I hope this helps.

Answer:

As shown in the attached figure we have

$tan(\alpha )=\frac{282}{359}\\\\\therefore \alpha =tan^{-1}(\frac{282}{359})\\\alpha =37.95^{o}$

Now we have $\alpha =\lambda$

Thus angle of depression is $37.95^{0}$

One number is 7 more than another. The difference between their squares is 161. What are the numbers?

olga nikolaevna [1]

Let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"

now, we know one of them is 7 more than the other, so hmmm let's say "b" is 7 more than "a", so b = a + 7

the difference of their squares is 161, alrite

$\bf a^2-b^2=161\qquad b=a+7\implies a^2-(a+7)^2=161
\\\\\\
a^2-(a^2+14a+49)=161\implies \underline{a^2-a^2}-14a-49=161
\\\\\\
-14a-49=161\implies -49-161=14a\implies -210=14a
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-210}{14}=a$

and surey you know how much that is

now, what's "b"? well, b = a + 7

Let R = reference angle in quadrant 2.

R = 180° - given angle.

R = 180° - 60°

R = 120°
