Mathematics
1 answer:
Ierofanga [76]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

→<u> </u><u>First</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>1</u>

→<u> </u><u>Second</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>2</u>

→<u> </u><u>Third</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>5</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

• let numbers be x, y and z

{ \tt{z = 8y - 9 -  -  - (eqn \: 1)}} \\  \\ { \tt{10x = 8y - 7 -  -  - (eqn \: 2)}} \\  \\ { \tt{x + y + z = 8 -  -  - (eqn \: 3)}}

• from eqn 2, make x the subject:

{ \tt{x =  \frac{8y - 7}{10} }} \\

• substitute all variables in eqn 3:

{ \tt{ \frac{8y - 7}{10}  + y + 8y - 9 = 8}} \\  \\ { \tt{8y - 7 + 10y + 80y - 90 = 80}} \\  \\ { \tt{98y = 177}} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: y = 1.8}}}

• find z

{ \tt{z = 8y - 9}} \\  \\ { \tt{z = 8(1.8) - 9}} \\  \\ { \tt{z = 14.4 - 9}} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: z = 5.4 \: }}}

• find x:

{ \tt{x =  \frac{8(1.8) - 7}{10} }} \\  \\ { \tt{x =  \frac{7.4}{10} }} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: x = 0.74 \: }}}

Rounding to nearest value:

{ \boxed{ \rm{x = 1}}} \\ { \boxed{ \rm{y =2 }}} \\ { \boxed{  \rm{z = 5}}}

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-4,-3) and is perpendicular to the line 2x+3y=15
Katen [24]

Answer:

The equation would be y = 3/2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the slope of the original line. We can do this by solving for y.

2x + 3y = 15

3y = -2x + 15

y = -2/3x + 5

Now that we have the slope of -2/3, we know the slope of the new line will be 3/2. This is because perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. We can use that and a point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 3 = 3/2(x + 4)

y + 3 = 3/2x + 6

y = 3/2x + 3

An observer for a radar station is located at the origin of a coordinate system. Find the bearing of an airplane located at the
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

135 degrees

S45^{0}E

Step-by-step explanation

Consider the attached diagram

we are required to find the bearing of the aeroplane,

Consider the right angled triangle BOE

|OB|=4 unit

|AB|=4 Units

Tan \alpha =\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent} =\frac{4}{4} \\\\\alpha=Tan^{-1} 1=45 degrees

The Bearing of the Aeroplane is therefore given:

(i)From North Clockwise as: 90+45 =135 degrees

(ii)From a North South Line as S45^{0}E
