So 16=heads
18=tails
after you add some tails
18+x
ratio of heads to tails is 1:1.5
heads=16, didn't change
tails=18+x
so
1:1.5=16:18+x
fractionify
1/1.5=16/(18+x)
1/1.5=2/3
2/3=16/(18+x)
mutiply both sides by (3)(18+x)
2(18+x)=3(16)
36+2x=48
subtract 36 from both sides
2x=12
divide 2
x=6
6 tails added
total=heads+tails
heads=16
tails=18+6=24
total=16+24
total=40
6 tails added
40 total coins

First you need to use the distributive property: 27(x+4)=-6
27x+108=-6
then you need to subtract 108 from -6 to
get x alone. 27x= 102
Lastly divide 102 by 27 to finally get x alone: x=3.777
the answer would be: x= 3.77 or 3.8
Answer:
1.) ≈ 3.652
2.) I would say something about how the A in front of cos in the equation would change to 90, rather than stay 75 (in the equation for the step by step), but it would be easier to just use the Pythagorean theorem.
Step-by-step explanation:
I think we may have the same class so hopefully this helps:
1.) --> law of cosines formula.
--> plugged in numbers; when you draw the triangle, the included angle would be A, and the opposite side would be a. B and b, and C and c are opposite each other. In this case, a is the hypotenuse.
--> in between steps.
--> more simplifying.
--> answer
2.) This one is just an explanation: The 75 in the equation is the given angle, which is a. If this changes, it would just change in the equation too. And obviously, if it's 90 degrees, you can just use Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2.
Good luck! :)
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1- If the triangle is a rigth triangle, you must apply the Pythagorean Theorem. Taking the length 3 inches as the hypotenuse, which is the longest side of the triangle, you have:
a^2=b^2+c^2
c=√(a^2-b^2)
b=3/4 inches
a=3 inches
2- When you susbtitute the values, you obtain:
c=√(3 inches)^2-(3/4 inches)^2
c=2.90 inches
The answer is: 2.90 inches.
