The answer is a² + 6. "Sum of a squared and 6" means you square a value and then add 6 to it.
Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed.
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15
Derivitive of cosx=-sinx
dy/dx sinx=cosx
and use chain rue
2cosx=-2sinx
2cos2x=-4sin2x
so
-2sinx-4sin2x id the deritivitve
Evans finishes 42 laps in 96,6 mins and Loza finished 38 laps in 102,6 mins
Evans. 96,6÷42= 2,30 mins
Loza . 102,6÷38= 2,70 mins
2,70 mins - 2,30 mins
= 40 secs and Evan is faster with 40secs in each lap.
