Use trigonometry to solve for x.
The tangent function is defined to be opposite side divided by the adjacent side.
tan(78) = x/10
tan(78)(10) = x
47.0463010948 = x
We now round off to two decimal places. In other words, we round off to the nearest tenths.
47.05 = x
Done!
y=-4-x
y=2x-1
-4-x=2x-1
3x=-3
x=-1
y=-3
The type of equation is consistent because they intersect at ( -1,-3 )
I dont think the answer is 129 unless you typed the problem in wrong. Order of operations say to do everything inside the perenthesis first so you would do the 3*2 which is 6 then divide the 12 by 6 and you get 2. so your new equation is 8^2+9(2)-7. Next distribute the 9 to the 2 that is inside the perenthesis. Square root the 8 also. Now it is 49+18-7. The answer would be 60 ...?
Add 4 to the whole equation
-10 + 4 < 2x < 8 + 4
Simplify
-6 < 2x < 12
Divide the whole equation by 2
-6/2 < x < 12/2
Simplify
<u>-3 < x < 6</u>
