Answer:

Approximately 3,333 acres per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first find out how many hours are in 3 days.

There are 24 hours in one day.

24 times 3 = 72.

There are 72 hours in 3 days.

So the wildfire is destroying 240,000 acres every 72 hours.

240,000 divided by 72 = 3,333.3333, which is about

3,333 acres per hour.

Please help me find x. I really don't get it.

inysia [295]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the sine and cosine functions can be written as ...

sin(x) = cos(90 -x)

sin(A) = cos(90 -A) = cos(B) . . . . substituting the given values

Equating arguments of the cosine function, we have ...

90 -(3x+4) = 8x -35

86 -3x = 8x -35

86 +35 = 8x +3x . . . . . add 3x+35 to both sides

121 = 11x . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

121/11 = x = 11 . . . . . . . . divide by 11

_____

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

There are other applicable relationships between sine and cosine as well. The result is that there are many solutions to this equation. One set is ...

11 +(32 8/11)k . . . for any integer k

Another set is ...

61.8 +72k . . . . . for any integer k

The School principal determined that 1/4 of the original student school desks would need to be replaced this year 50 teachers wo

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The number of original students desks were there in school before purchase was made is 980 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number of new desks purchased including teacher and students = 295

The number of new desks purchased for students = $\frac{1}{4}$ of original students desks available

The number of new desks purchased for teachers = 50

Let The number of original students desks available before purchase = S

Now, According to question

∵ The total number of new desks purchased including teacher and students = 295

I.e The number of new desks purchased for students + The number of new desks purchased for teachers = 295

Or, $\frac{1}{4}$ of S + 50 = 295

Or, $\frac{1}{4}$ × S = 295 - 50

Or , $\frac{1}{4}$ × S = 245

∴ S = 245 × 4 = 980

So, original desks available for students = S = 980

Hence The number of original students desks were there in school before purchase was made is 980 . Answer
