Janice has a box of colored pencils. She shares them equally with her friend Tracy. Her sister Nicole gives her two more colored pencils. Janice has three colored pencils left for herself. How many colored pencils were in the box initially?

1; 35 is the ratio

step-by-step explanation:

the value of x is 9 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* we can solve this problem using cosine and sine rule

- in δ abc

∵ ab = 36 , bc = 28 , ac = 16

- lets find the measure of angle b using the cosine rule

∵ cos b = [ab² + bc² - ac²]/2(ab)(bc)

∴ cos b = [36² + 28² - 16²]/2(36)(28)

∴ cos b = 19/21

∴ m∠b = cos^-1(19/21) ≅ 25°

- lets find the measure of angle a using the sine rule

∵ sina/bc = sinb/ac = sinc/ab

∴ sina/28 = sin25°/16 ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ sina = 28 × sin25°/16

∴ sina = 0.7396

∴ m∠a = sin^-1(0.7396) ≅ 48°

- from the figure m∠abd = m∠dbc

∵ m∠abc = 25°

∴ m∠abd = 25°/2 = 12.5°

- in δabd

∵ m∠a = 48° , m∠abd = 12.5°

∵ the sum of the measures of the interior angles of any δ is 180°

∴ m∠adb = 180° - (48° + 12.5°) = 119.5°

∵ ab = 36

∵ ad = x

- use the sine rule to find x

∵ sin∠adb/ab = sin∠abd/x

∴ sin119.5°/36 = sin12.5°/x ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ x = 36 × sin12.5°/sin119.5° = 8.95 ≅ 9

* the value of x is 9

22, 28, 34, 40, 46

b)   f(n) = 6n + 16

n = what is the number of the row ( 22 would be row 1) so if we replaced n with 1, we would get 22

c)   the 14th row will have 100 seats

(1)   (2)   (3)   (4)   (5)   (6)   (7)   (8)   (9)   (10) (11) (12) (13) (14)

22 | 28 | 34 | 40 | 46 | 52 | 58 | 64 | 70 | 76 | 82 | 88 | 94 | 100
