Assume the secret number is x.
"Al doubled the number and added 15 to the result. He got 51."
means 2x+15=51
solving for x:
2x+15=51
2x=51-15
2x=36
x=18
"Beverly did the same operations with their number, but in the reversed order." means she first added 15 to the number, then she doubled the result,
that is she performed the operation:
First: x+15
then: 2(x+15)
since we found x=18, then we have 2(x+15)=2(18+15)=2*33=66
Answer: 66
Distances are considered to be non-negative in all cases.
The absolute value function is necessary to get a positive result when the difference of coordinate values is negative.
The square root function is defined to return a positive result always, so no absolute value function is required when the distance is found using the square root function.
Answer:
12x+60
Step-by-step explanation:
12 gets multiplied with x
12 gets multiplied with 5
Which gives 12x + 60

Answer:
3.0
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle, its opposite side, and the hypotenuse are given. Then the relevant trig relation is ...
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(21°) = x/8.3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . use the given values
x = 8.3·sin(21°) ≈ 8.3×0.3584 . . . . . . multiply by 8.3
x ≈ 3.0
