Answer:
x ≈ 14.4
Step-by-step explanation:
using the cosine ratio in the right triangle
cos59° = 
= 
( multiply both sides by 28 )
28 × cos59° , then
x ≈ 14.4 ( to the nearest tenth )
Answer:
x = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
8 + 3x = 29 + 2x
8 + 3x - 2x = 29
8 + x = 29
x = 29 - 8 = 21
x = 21
894 mi^2
as 24 x 37.25 = 894
"Will is twice as old as Jill."
Jill's age . . . . . J
Will's age . . . . 2J .
"Three years ago . . .
Jill's age then . . . . . J - 3
Will's age then . . . . 2J - 3
". . . Jill's age then was 2/5 of Will's age then."
J - 3 = (2/5) (2J - 3)
Multiply
each side by 5 : 5J - 15 = 2 (2J - 3)
Divide
each side by 2 : 2.5 J - 7.5 = 2J - 3
Subtract 2J
from each side: 0.5 J - 7.5 = -3
Add 7.5
to each side: 0.5 J = 4.5
Multiply
each side by 2 : J = 9
Jill is 9 y.o. now.
Will is 18 y.o. now.
