Answer:

3x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

f = 2x + 1

2x + 1 * g

g = x - 7

2x + 1 * x - 7 = 3x - 7

3x - 7 * 2 = 3x - 14

Comments:

Hope this helped (:

also I assumed the $ = f at the begining so please let me know if I am wrong

Is 3/7 greater than 2/5?

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Yes, 3/7 is bigger than 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put the fraction side by side

$\frac{3}{7}$ $\frac{2}{5}$

Multiply diagonally. So multiply 3 × 5 and 2 × 7

3 × 5 = 15

2 × 7 = 14

15 >14

$\frac{3}{7}$ > $\frac{2}{5}$

Miss Martinez purchase two kinds of candy for a math game. Diplo pops cost $.50 each and the sneakers cost $.60 each. She purcha

torisob [31]

Answer:

The number of Diplo pops D = 18

The number of sneakers S = 12

Step-by-step expla nation:

Given:

Cost of one Diplo pops = $.50

Cost of one sneakers = $.60

Total number of candies purchased = 30 pieces

cost of the number of candies purchased = $16.80

To Find:

Number of each type of candies = ?

Solution:

Let

The number of Diplo pops be D

The number of sneakers be S

Total number of candies = 30

S+D = 30

S= 30 - D--------------------------------------(1)

and cost of 30 candies is $16.80

S(0.50) + D(0.60) = 16.80----------------(2)

Substituting (1) in (2)

(30 - D)(0.50) + D(0.60) = 16.80

15 - 0.50D +0.60D = 16.80

15 + 0.10D = 16.80

0.10D = 16.80 - 15

0.10D = 1.80

D = $\frac{1.80}{0.10}$

D = 18

So the number of Diplo pops = 18

Number of sneakers S= 30 - 18 = 12

I have a Triangle and I need to find the side BC?

Rus_ich [418]

Looking at this problem in the book, I'm guessing that you've been
introduced to a little bit of trigonometry. Or at least you've seen the
definitions of the trig functions of angles.

Do you remember the definition of either the sine or the cosine of an angle ?

In a right triangle, the sine of an acute angle is (opposite side) / (hypotenuse),
and the cosine of an acute angle is (adjacent side) / (hypotenuse).

Maybe you could use one of these to solve this problem, but first you'd need to
make sure that this is a right triangle.

Let's see . . . all three angles in any triangle always add up to 180 degrees.
We know two of the angles in this triangle ... 39 and 51 degrees.
How many degrees are left over for the third angle ?
180 - (39 + 51) = 180 - (90) = 90 degrees for the third angle.
It's a right triangle ! yay ! We can use sine or cosine if we want to.

Let's use the 51° angle.
The cosine of any angle is (adjacent side) / (hypotenuse) .
'BC' is the side adjacent to the 51° angle in the picture,
and the hypotenuse is 27 .

cosine(51°) = (side BC) / 27

Multiply each side of that equation by 27 :

Side-BC = (27) times cosine(51°)

Look up the cosine of 51° in a book or on your calculator.

Cosine(51°) = 0.62932 (rounded)

<u>Side BC</u> = (27) x (0.62932) = <u>16.992</u> (rounded)
============================================

You could just as easily have used the sine of 39° .
That would be (opposite side) / (hypotenuse) ... also (side-BC) / 27 .
