Answer:

Step 2: He should have added 3 to, rather than subtracting 3 from, both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Combine like terms: 6b − 3 = −21

2. Subtraction property of equality: 6b = −24

Here he has to add 3 on both sides, to isolate the variable term.

Therefore, answer is Step2) He should have added 3 to, rather than subtracting 3 from, both sides.

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.

He made an error in step 2 because you are supposed to do the inverse operations on the -3 which would be +3.

Find the coordinates of point P that lies along the directed line segment AB in a 2:3 ratio given A (-2, 1), B (3, 4).

saul85 [17]

Answer:

$P(x,y) = (0,\frac{11}{5})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = (-2,1)$

$B = (3,4)$

$m:n = 2:3$

Required

Determine the coordinates of P

The coordinate of a point when divided into ratio is:

$P(x,y) = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n})$

Where

$(x_1,y_1) = (-2,1)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (3,4)$

$m:n = 2:3$

This gives:

$P(x,y) = (\frac{2 * 3 + 3 * -2}{2 + 3},\frac{2 * 4 + 3 * 1}{2 + 3})$

$P(x,y) = (\frac{6 - 6}{5},\frac{8 + 3}{5})$

$P(x,y) = (\frac{0}{5},\frac{11}{5})$

$P(x,y) = (0,\frac{11}{5})$

Answer:

$angleS=83^o$

$angleR=23^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>The Law of Sines</u></h3>

The Law of Sines states that for a given triangle (in a plane), the ratio formed by the Sine of any one of the three interior angles and the side across from it is equal to a common number.

If a triangle is drawn in standard form, with the three vertices identified as A, B, and C, and the interior angles at each vertex simply identified as angleA, angleB, angleC, the sides across from those angles are identified as a, b, and c, respectively. Given such a labeling for a triangle, the Law of Sines gives the following equation:

$\frac{sin(angleA)}{a} =\frac{sin(angleB)}{b} =\frac{sin(angleC)}{c}$

From the picture you presented, with triangle RST, side r is on the right and unlabeled, side s is shown in red, and side T is shown in green. The interior angles for R and S are unlabeled, and angle T is defined as 74 degrees. The Law of Sines would give the following relationship for your triangle:

$\frac{sin(angleR)}{r} =\frac{sin(angleS)}{s} =\frac{sin(angleT)}{t}$

Substituting known values...

$\frac{sin(angleR)}{r} =\frac{sin(angleS)}{12.7ft} =\frac{sin(74^{o} )}{12.3ft}$

It should be noted that without information about the length of side r, angle R cannot be found directly with the Law of Sines because that portion of the equation holds two unknowns. However, if the other two angles of the triangle are known, angle R can be solved for by using the Triangle Sum Theorem.

<h3><u>Finding Angle S</u></h3>

Focusing in on the ratio with known values on the far right, and the ratio containing angleS first:

$\frac{sin(angleS)}{12.7ft} =\frac{sin(74^{o} )}{12.3ft}$

... multiplying both sides of the equation by 12.7 ft...

$sin(angleS) =\frac{sin(74^{o} ) * 12.7ft}{12.3ft}$

Note that the right side of the equation has units of feet in both the numerator and denominator (with no addition or subtraction), so the units will cancel. Simplifying the right side of the equation by evaluating the expression in a calculator (make sure you're in "degree" mode), will yield a unit-less number:

$sin(angleS) = .9925222389...$

Undoing the sine function, and solving for the measure of angle S will require taking the "arcsin" of both sides of the equation...

$arcsin(sin(angleS))=arcsin(0.9925222389...)\\angleS=arcsin(0.9925222389...)\\angleS=82.98876661...^o\\angleS=83^o$ <u />

<u />

<h3><u>Finding Angle R</u></h3>

Knowing both angleS and angleT, we can apply the Triangle Sum Theorem to solve for angle R.

Triangle Sum Theorem: The sum of all 3 interior angles in a triangle (in a plane) is 180 degrees.

$angleR+angleS+angleT=180^o\\angleR+83^o+74^o=180^o$

Using the subtraction property of equality to isolate angleR and combining like terms...

$angleR=180^o-83^o-74^o\\angleR=23^o$

Two cyclists, 55 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 5 miles per hour faster than the other

tangare [24]

Answer:

r = 6 mph and f = 11 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Representations:

1) speed of faster cyclist: f = r + 5

2) speed of slower cyclist: r

Distances covered:

(r + 5)(5 hr) + r(5) = 55 mi (total distance covered)

Then 5r + 25 + 5r = 55, or, after reducing this equation:

r + 5 + r = 11, or

2r = 6

Then r = 6 mph and f = 11 mph
