Let's find common denominator first,

5/7= 15/21

2/3= 14/21

now substract them; 15/21 - 14/21 = 1/21

Hence 5/7 is 1/21 bigger than 2/3!

PLEASE HELP!! if sec x=5/3 what is the value of b? NL=20 LM=3b angle of L is x degrees.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

a. b=4

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sec \theta =\dfrac{1}{\cos \theta} = \dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Adjacent}$

From the attached triangle drawn below:

NL=20, LM=3b, $\angle L=x^\circ$

$\sec x =\dfrac{20}{3b}$

Since we are told that:

$\sec x =\dfrac{5}{3}\\$Then:\\\dfrac{20}{3b} =\dfrac{5}{3}\\$Cross multiply\\5 \times 3b =20 \times 3\\15b=60\\$Divide both sides by 15\\15b \div 15 =60 \div 15\\b=4$

The correct option is A.

Garrett and Carter went to the movies last weekend. Together they bought 2 drinks and 2 popcorns. They spent a total of $12.50.

-BARSIC- [3]

The cost of one drink is $2.50 and cost of one popcorn is $3.75

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, the cost of one drink is $x$ dollar and cost of one popcorn is $y$ dollar.

Given that, total cost for 2 drinks and 2 popcorns is $12.50 and total cost for 6 drinks and 5 popcorns is $33.75

So, the system of equations will be......

$2x+2y=12.50 ..................................... (1)\\ \\ 6x+5y= 33.75 ..................................... (2)$

Multiplying equation (1) by -3 , we will get.....

$-3(2x+2y)=-3(12.50)\\ \\ -6x-6y=-37.50 ..................................... (3)$

Now, adding equation (2) and equation (3) , we will get ............

$5y-6y=33.75-37.50\\ \\ -y=-3.75\\ \\ y=3.75$

Plugging this $y=3.75$ into equation (1) ......

$2x+2(3.75)=12.50\\ \\ 2x+7.50=12.50\\ \\ 2x=12.50-7.50=5\\ \\ x=\frac{5}{2}=2.50$

So, the cost of one drink is $2.50 and cost of one popcorn is $3.75
