Answer:

b = \frac{7}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

b + \frac{2}{3} = 1 \frac{1}{4} ← change to an improper fraction

b + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{4}

Multiply through by 12 ( the LCM of 3 and 4 ) to clear the fractions

12b + 8 = 15 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

12b = 7 ( divide both sides by 12 )

b = \frac{7}{12}

Answer:

The value of b is <u>7/12</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question</u> :

Solve for b.

{\implies{\sf{b +  \dfrac{2}{3} = 1 \dfrac{1}{4}}}}

Enter your answer as a fraction in simplest form in the box.

\implies{\sf{b =  \square}}

\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}

<u>Solution</u> :

{\implies{\sf{b +  \dfrac{2}{3} = 1 \dfrac{1}{4}}}}

Converting the mixed fractions into improper fraction.

{\implies{\sf{b +  \dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{(1 \times 4) + 1}{4}}}}

{\implies{\sf{b +  \dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{(4)+ 1}{4}}}}

{\implies{\sf{b +  \dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{4+ 1}{4}}}}

{\implies{\sf{b +  \dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{5}{4}}}}

Now, transporting LHS to RHS.

{\implies{\sf{b= \dfrac{5}{4} -  \dfrac{2}{3}}}}

Taking LCM of denominators and subtracting.

{\implies{\sf{b= \dfrac{(5 \times 3) - (2 \times 4)}{12}}}}

{\implies{\sf{b= \dfrac{(15) - (8)}{12}}}}

{\implies{\sf{b= \dfrac{15 - 8}{12}}}}

{\implies{\sf{b= \dfrac{7}{12}}}}

{\star{\red{\underline{\boxed{\sf{b= \dfrac{7}{12}}}}}}}

Hence, the value of b is 7/12.

\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}

<u>Verification</u> :

{\implies{\sf{b +  \dfrac{2}{3} = 1 \dfrac{1}{4}}}}

Substituting the value of (b=7/12)

{\implies{\sf{ \dfrac{7}{12}  +  \dfrac{2}{3} = 1 \dfrac{1}{4}}}}

Converting mixed fractions into improper fraction

{\implies{\sf{ \dfrac{7}{12}  +  \dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{(1 \times 4) + 1}{4}}}}

{\implies{\sf{ \dfrac{7}{12}  +  \dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{(4) + 1}{4}}}}

{\implies{\sf{ \dfrac{7}{12}  +  \dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{4 + 1}{4}}}}

{\implies{\sf{ \dfrac{7}{12}  +  \dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{5}{4}}}}

Taking LCM of denominators in LHS and adding.

{\implies{\sf{ \dfrac{(7 \times 1) + (2 \times 4)}{12} = \dfrac{5}{4}}}}

{\implies{\sf{ \dfrac{(7) + (8)}{12} = \dfrac{5}{4}}}}

{\implies{\sf{ \dfrac{7 + 8}{12} = \dfrac{5}{4}}}}

{\implies{\sf{ \dfrac{15}{12} = \dfrac{5}{4}}}}

Cutting the fraction to simplest form.

{\implies{\sf{ \cancel{\dfrac{15}{12}} = \dfrac{5}{4}}}}

{\implies{\sf{ \dfrac{5}{4}= \dfrac{5}{4}}}}

{\star{\red{\underline{\boxed{\sf{LHS = RHS}}}}}}

Hence Verified!

A helicopter is hovering 450 feet above the ground. The angle of elevation
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The distance of helicopter from the injured person is 542.82 feet  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The height of the hovering helicopter above the ground = h = 450 feet

The angle of elevation from injured person to helicopter = Ф = 56°

Or, Let the distance of of helicopter from person = x feet

Now, From Triangle

∵ Sin Ф = \dfrac{\textrm Perendicular}{\textrm Hypotenuse}

∴  Sin 56° = \dfrac{\textrm h}{\textrm x}

Or, 0.8290 = \dfrac{\textrm 450}{\textrm x}

Or , x = \dfrac{\textrm 450}{\textrm 0.8290}

I.e x = 542.82 feet

So, The distance from injured person to helicopter = 542.82 feet

Hence The distance of helicopter from the injured person is 542.82 feet  Answer

A and B are supplementary angles. If A = 7x - 18 and B = 8x + 3, find x.
Mila [183]

Answer:

x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle A and angle B are supplementary

Supplementary angles add to 180 degrees

<A + <B = 180

7x-18 + 8x+3 = 180

Combine like terms

15x -15 = 180

Add 15 to each side

15x-15 +15 = 180+15

15x = 195

Divide by 15

15x/15 =195/15

x =13

The sum of two numbers is 50. The first number is 43 less than twice the second number. Write and solve a system of equations to
Simora [160]

Answer: 19 and 31

Step-by-step explanation: Make the first number x, the second number y.

The sum of x and y is 50: x+y=50

x is 43 less than 2y: x=2y-43

replace x in equation x+y=50 with x=2y-43: 2y-43+y=50

combine like terms: 3y-43=50

add 43 to both sides: 3y=93

divide both sides by 3: y=31

replace y in equation x+y=50 with y=31: x+31=50

subtract 43 31 from both sides: x=19

the solution to the question is the first number is 19, the second number is 31
