Find the value of X.

x = 18.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the last angle of the triangle.

180-90-72 = 18

The cosine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.

cos(b) = adj/hyp

CosB=a/c rewrite to get

6/CosB (72)  = 19.41

Find the last side of the triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.

b=square root c^2 - a^2

b=square root 376.99 - 36

b= 18.46

step-by-step explanation:

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
