Answer:

2x + 7 = 25

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Gary: 25

Sean: x

----------------------------

Let's break down the sentence into mathematical terms

Gary is 25 years old. That is 7 more than twice Sean's age.

In math, is means equal to. It is represented with an equal sign (=)

Gary = 25. 25 = 7 more than twice Sean's age.

7 more is represented by 7 +

Gary = 25. 25 = 7 + than twice Sean's age.

Twice means double which is 2 ·

Gary = 25. 25 = 7 + 2 · Sean's Age

Sean's Age will be represented by x

Gary = 25. 25 = 7 + 2x

We don't need it to say "Gary = 25" in our equation.

25 = 7 + 2x

Let's rewrite it with the associative property.

2x + 7 = 25

---------------------

Now, solve

2x + 7 = 25

-7 -7

2x = 18

÷2 ÷2

x = 7

----------------------

Sean is 7 years old.

Given tan θ = 2 and sin θ < 0. Find cos(θ +pi/4)

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

√10 / 10

Step-by-step explanation:

tan θ > 0 and sin θ < 0, so θ is in quadrant III. That means cos θ < 0.

cos(θ + π/4)

Use angle sum formula.

cos θ cos(π/4) − sin θ sin(π/4)

½√2 cos θ − ½√2 sin θ

Factor.

½√2 cos θ (1 − tan θ)

½√2 cos θ (1 − 2)

-½√2 cos θ

Write in terms of secant.

-½√2 / sec θ

Use Pythagorean identity (remember that cos θ < 0).

-½√2 / -√(1 + tan²θ)

-½√2 / -√(1 + 2²)

½√2 / √5

√10 / 10

A pool measuring 18 meters by 22 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width. If the area of the pool and the path combined

suter [353]

Answer: the width of the uniform path is 9 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the uniform path.

A pool measuring 18 meters by 22 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width. It means that the combined length of the pool and the uniform path is (18 + 2x) meters and the combined width of the pool and the uniform path is (22 + 2x) meters.

If the area of the pool and the path combined is 1440 square meters, it means that

(18 + 2x)(22 + 2x) = 1440

396 + 36x + 44x + 4x² = 1440

4x² + 80x + 396 - 1440 = 0

4x² + 80x - 1044 = 0

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, it becomes

x² + 20x - 261 = 0

x² + 29x - 9x - 261 = 0

x(x + 29) - 9(x + 29) = 0

x - 9 = 0 or x + 29 = 0

x = 9 or x = 29

Since the width cannot be negative, then x = 9 meters
