Answer:

Distance between P and R is 40.15 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Petrol kiosk P is 12 km due North of another petrol kiosk Q.

Bearing of a police station R is 135° from P and 120° from Q.

m∠QPR = 180° - 135° = 45°

m∠PQR = 120°

m∠PRQ = 180° - (m∠QPR +m∠PQR)

             = 180° - (45° + 120°)

             = 180° - 165°

             = 15°

Now we apply sine rule in ΔPQR to measure the distance between P and R.

\frac{\text{sin}(\angle QPR)}{\text{QR}}= \frac{\text{sin}(\angle PQR)}{\text{PR}}=\frac{\text{sin}\angle PRQ}{\text{PQ}}

\frac{\text{sin}(45)}{\text{QR}}= \frac{\text{sin}(120)}{\text{PR}}=\frac{\text{sin}(15)}{\text{12}}

\frac{\text{sin}(120)}{\text{PR}}=\frac{\text{sin}(15)}{\text{12}}

PR = \frac{12\text{sin}(120)}{\text{sin}(15)}

PR = 40.15 km

Therefore, distance between P and R is 40.15 km.

8x-4[2x-5(3x+1)]-2[x-(x-1)] I hate math
True [87]

Answer:

60x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 4 [2x - 5 ( 3x + 1 )] - 2 [x - (x - 1)]

distribute

8x - 4 [2x - 15x - 5] - 2 [x - x + 1]

combine like-terms

8x - 4 [- 13x - 5] - 2 [1]

distribute again

8x + 52x + 20 - 2

combine like-terms again

60x +18

Use a calculator to find an approximate solution to the equation. Round any intermediate work and steps to three decimal places.
Mariana [72]
Given;
6Ln (x + 2.8) = 9.6 

We will transpose 6 in the Ln, so that we will leave Ln alone.
Ln (x + 2.8) = 9.6/6 = 1.6 

we divide the 9.6 to 6 and we get 1.6

x + 2.8 = e^1.6 
e^ for the substitution of Ln

x = e^1.6 - 2.8 
insert the e^(1.6) in the calculator and you will get 4.95303242439511 and subtract 2.8 and you will get the answer.

x = 2.153 
2.153 is the final answer in this question.
