Answer:

  x = 10·cos(θ) -4·cot(θ)

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, we are to assume that the horizontal lines are parallel to each other.

The relevant trig relations are ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

If the junction point in the middle of AB is labeled X, then we have ...

  sin(θ) = 4/BX   ⇒   BX = 4/sin(θ)

  cos(θ) = x/XA   ⇒   XA = x/cos(θ)

Then ...

  BX +XA = AB = 10

Substituting for BX and XA using the above relations, we get

  4/sin(θ) +x/cos(θ) = 10

Solving for x gives ...

  x = (10 -4/sin(θ))·cos(θ)

  x = 10·cos(θ) -4·cot(θ) . . . . . simplify

_____

We used the identity ...

   cot(θ) = cos(θ)/sin(θ)

Find the ratio a:b, if 2a−b/6 = b/3
Tom [10]

Answer:

a:b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we need to operate with terms in order to arrive to a ratio a:b (or a/b).

We have:

2a−b/6 = b/3

Lets sum b/6 in both sides:

2a−b/6 + b/6 = b/3 + b/6

2a = b/3 + b/6

Now, we can multiply and divide b/3 by 2 to make a 6 appear on the denominator and sum it with b/6, this is, use common denominator:

2a = b/3*(2/2) + b/6

2a = 2b/6 + b/6

2a = 3b/6

2a = b/2, as 3/6 = 1/2

Now lets divide both sides by b to make an a/b appear:

2a/b = (b/2)/b

2a/b = 1/2

Finally, multiply both sides by (1/2) or divide by 2:

(2a/b)/2 = 2

a/b = 2

This is, a is twice as b. If b is 1 so a is 2; if b is 45 so a is 90, and so on.

Solve: −3(5+8x)−20≤−11
Tatiana [17]
-3(5 + 8x) - 20 ≤ -11  |use distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac

-15 - 24x - 20 ≤ -11

-35 - 24x ≤ -11    |add 35 to both sides

-24x ≤ 24      |change signs

24x ≥ -24    |divide both sides by 24

x ≥ -1
