Simply collect all the like terms together
So..3+5+14 is 22x
You set 49 equal to 8x - 15
So
8x - 15 = 49
+15 + 15
8x = 64
Then divide by 8
X= 8
Answer:
The length of AB is 7.45 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the length of AB using Cosine Rule, cosθ = adj./hypo. :
θ = 20°
adj. = 7 units
hypo. = AB
cos 20° = 7/AB
AB = 7/cos 20°
= 7.45 units (3s.f)
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
butterfly = x minutes
breast = y minutes
total is 50 minutes
breast stroke = butterfly +20
Part A
x+y = 50
y = x+20
Part B
Substitute the second equation into the first
x+ (x+20) = 50
2x+20 = 50
2x+20-20 = 50-20
2x = 30
2x/2 = 30/2
x = 15
y = x+20
y = 20+15
y = 35 minutes
35 minutes on the breast stroke
Part C
45 minutes on the butterfly is not reasonable
We only have a total of 50 minutes
50-45 = 5
But he spend more time on the breast stroke ( 20 minutes more), but if he spend 45 minutes on the butterfly, he would have to spend less on the breast stroke.
