Answer:

The number is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets write this as an equation first. We'll substitute the number for the variable x.

80 - 3x = 5x + 8

First, let's add 3x to both sides.

80 - 3x + 3x = 5x + 3x + 8

80 = 8x + 8

Next, let's subtract 8 from both sides.

80 - 8 = 8x + 8 - 8

72 = 8x

Finally, let's divide both sides by 8.

72/8 = 8x/8

9 = x

"x" is 9.

So the secret number is 9.

If T equals 1 / r + 1 / s equals r + S over RS, then what is 1 / T in terms of R&S?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

$T=\dfrac{1}{r}+\dfrac{1}{s}\\\\T=\dfrac{1\cdot s}{r\cdor s}+\dfrac{1\cdot r}{r\cdot s}\\\\T=\dfrac{s}{rs}+\dfrac{r}{rs}\\\\T=\dfrac{s+r}{rs}\to\dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{rs}{s+r}$

Given sin(−θ)=−1/6 and tanθ=−√35/35 What is the value of cosθ?

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

$cos(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{35} }{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the negative angle identity for the sine function:

$sin(- \theta)=-sin(\theta)$

Then, we can find the value of $sin(\theta)$ :

$sin(\theta)=-sin(-\theta)\\sin(\theta) =-(-\frac{1}{6} )\\sin(\theta)= \frac{1}{6}$

Now recall the definition of the tangent function:

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

Therefore, now that we know the value of $sin(\theta)$ , we can solve in this equation for $cos(\theta)$

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}\\-\frac{\sqrt{35} }{35} =\frac{1/6}{cos(\theta)} \\cos(\theta)=-\frac{\frac{1}{6} }{\frac{\sqrt{35} }{35} } \\cos(\theta)=-\frac{35}{6\,\sqrt{35} } \\cos(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{35} }{6}$
