-16/17 is the answer...

2(7/17)+3y=-2
14/17+3y=-2
3y=-2 - 14/17
y = (-2 - 14/17)/3
y = -16/17

2/(2y+7=17 multiply both sides by (2y+7) distribute: 2=34y+119 subtract 119 from both : 34y=117 both sides by 34: y=117/34 or: (2/3)y+ 7=17 subtract 7 from both sides: (2/3)y=10 divide both sides by 2/3:y=10/(2/3)=10(2/3)=15

A runner traveled 3 mi in the same time that a cyclist traveled 5 mi. The speed of the cyclist was 2 mph greater than that of th

Contact [7]

Answer:

5 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the runner travel at x miles an hour , then the cyclist travels at 5/ 3 * x

= 5/3 x miles an hour.

So we have the equation

5/3 x - x = 2 ( since the cyclist was travelling at 2 mph faster).,

2/3 x = 2

x = 3/2 * 2 = 3 mph.

So the cyclists speed was 3 * 5/3

= 5 mph.

A RIGHT triangle has three sides: a, b, c such that a=b and LaTeX: a^2\:+\:b^2\:=\:c^2 a 2 + b 2 = c 2 What is the ratio of the

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

$c=b\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the attached image.

A right triangle is considered so when one of its corners are 90°.

If sides a and b are equal in length, then the corners across from them are equal in size as well.

The only way for this to be possible is if both corners A and B(opposite of sides a and b) are 45°.

Pythagorean theorem

This theorem states that the square of a right triangle's long side is equal to the sum of the squares of the shorter sides.

In this case:

$a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$

but since:

$a=b$

the equation can be solved by replacing a with b in the equation:

$b^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} \\2b^{2}=c^{2} \\\sqrt{2b^{2} } = c\\b\sqrt{2} =c$

Please help me this is so confusing to me.

Hi there! :)

$\large\boxed{A = 120^{o}}$

Find the central angle using a ratio in regards to angle and circumference.

The radius is 27 units, so use the following equation to calculate circumference:

C = 2rπ

Therefore:

C = 2(27)π = 54π

Since we have the total circumference, we can write the following proportion:

$\frac{x}{360} = \frac{18\pi}{54\pi}$

Cross multiply:

54πx = 6480π

Divide both sides by 54π to isolate for x:

x = 120°
