Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is equilateral, then the 3 sides are congruent.

Equate any 2 sides and solve for x, that is

7x - 29 = 5x - 13 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

2x - 29 = - 13 ( add 29 to both sides )

2x = 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 8

The triangle is equilateral, thus the 3 angles are congruent, thus

The measure of each angle is 60°

Answer:

y=7600(5^(t/22))

Step-by-step explanation:

This is going to be an exponential function as it grows rapidly.

This type of question can be solved using the formula y=a(r^x), where a is the inital amount, r the factor by which the amount increases and x is the unit of time after which the amount increases.

x=t/22

a=7600

r=5

∴y=7600(5^(t/22))

Which identity could be the missing step to verify the identity (cos theta)(csc theta)=cot theta

N76 [4]

(cosx)(cscx) = cotx
cscx = 1/sinx
(cosx)(1/sinx) = (cosx/sinx)
cosx/sinx = cotx

Basically, I noticed that cscx is equivalent to 1 divided by sinx, and then multiplied that fraction by cosx, which got me cosx/sinx. Your quotient identities will tell you that cosx/sinx = cotx

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

$495

Step-by-step explanation:

After the 5% raise, her weekly pay was ...

$550 × 1.05 = $577.50

If she works 35 hours for that pay, her hourly rate is

$577.50/35 = $16.50

Then, working 30 hours, her weekly pay will be ...
