Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using cosine triangle formula, we know that;

c² = a² + b² - 2ac(cos C)

From our diagram;

a = 2x

b = x + 1

c = 7

C = 60°

Thus;

7² = (2x)² + (x + 1)² - 2(2x)(x + 1)cos 60

49 = 4x² + (x² + 2x + 1) - (4x² + 4x)(0.5)

49 = 5x² + 2x + 1 - 2x² - 2x

3x² + 1 - 49 = 0

3x² - 48 = 0

3x² = 48

x² = 48/3

x² = 16

x = √16

x = 4

What is 15 tens - 1 gross

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A gross is equal to 120 ones or ten dozen

what is 15 tens - 1 gross

we know that

15 tens means ----> That you are adding 10, 15 times or multiplying 10 by 15, which gives you

$10(15)=150$

1 gross means ---> That you are adding 10, 12 times or multiplying 10 by 12

which gives you

$10(12)=120$

The algebraic expression of 15 tens - 1 gross is equal to

$150-120=30$

Convert to word expression

3 tens

The Marsh family took a vacation that covered a total distance of 1356 miles. The return trip was 284 miles shorter than the fir

Alex787 [66]

So going+return=1356
return is 284 lesss than going
return=-284+going
subsitute

going-284+going=1356
2going-284=1356
add 284 to both sides
2going=1640
divide both sides by 2
going=820

so we havve
return=-284+going
return=-284+820
return=536

answer is return=536 miles

Five minivans and three trucks are traveling on a 3.0 mile circular track and complete a full lap in 98.0, 108.0, 113.0, 108.0,

Alex

Answer:

The time-mean speed of the minivans is of 105.8 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of a data-set:

The mean of a data-set is the sum of all values in the data-set divided by the number of values.

Five minivans, times of: 98.0, 108.0, 113.0, 108.0, 102.0, in seconds.

Thus, the mean is:

$M = \frac{98 + 108 + 113 + 108 + 102}{5} = 105.8$

The time-mean speed of the minivans is of 105.8 seconds.
