8x + 84 = 500
8x = 416
x = 52
So if he wants to earn more than 500 dollars, he needs to make more than 52 dollars a week.
The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.
"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":
The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.
"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."
The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.
Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.
That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.
0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x
Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.
0.75x + 1.5 = x
-0.25x = -1.5
x = 6
The total amount of candies was 6 lb.
The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.
The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer: 24.2° SouthWest
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
First step: DRAW A PICTURE of the vectors from head to tail <em>(see image)</em>
I created a perpendicular from the resultant vector to the vertex of the given vectors so I could use Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the perpendicular. Then I used that value to find the angle of the plane.
<u>Perpendicular (x):</u>
cos 35° = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos 35° = x/160
→ x = 160 cos 35°
<u>Angle (θ):</u>
sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse
sin θ = x/320
sin θ = 160 cos 35°/320
θ = arcsin (160 cos 35°/320)
θ = 24.2°
Direction is down (south) and left (west)
