Let Alex's height = a.

Let Ben'x height = b.


a + b = 130

b - a = b/3


Subtract b/3 from both sides int he second equation to obtain:

(2/3)b - a = 0


Add this new equation to the first original equation.


(5/3)b = 130


b = 130 * 3/5


b = 78


a + b = 130


a + 78 = 130


a = 130 - 78


a = 52


Answer: Alex's height is 52 inches, and Ben's height is 78 inches.

Minchanka [31]
450/5= 90 units

90/5= 18 units

All you need to do is divide the real dimensions by the scale dimensions, and turn that answer to units. Notice: It said 1 unit: 5 feet

The scale drawing was 90 to 18 units.

I hope this helps!

2sec^2x - secx - 1 = 0
Ivenika [448]
What are you trying to do here?
Solve the graph, or make it appear as something else?

First, we're going to take one sec (x) out so that we get:
sec (x) (2sec (x) -1 -1) = 0

sec (x) (2sec (x) -2) = 0


Then we're going to separate the two to find the zeros of each because anything time 0 is zero.

sec(x) = 0

2sec (x) - 2 = 0

Now, let's simplify the second one as the first one is already.

Add 2 to both sides:

2sec (x) = 2

Divide by 3 on both sides:

sec (x) = 1


I forgot my unit circle, so you'd have to do that by yourself. Hopefully, I helped a bit though!
