Answer:

x = 10; y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's list the factors of 60 because the product of those numbers is 60.

  • ⇒ Factors of 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60

<u>The following possibilities of x and y are possible using (x × y = 60):</u>

  • 60 and 1 ⇒ x = 60; y = 1 ⇒ 60 × 1 = 60
  • 30 and 2 ⇒ x = 30; y = 2 ⇒ 30 × 2 = 60
  • 20 and 3 ⇒ x = 20; y = 3 ⇒ 20 × 3 = 60
  • 15 and 4 ⇒ x = 15; y = 4 ⇒ 15 × 4 = 60
  • 12 and 5 ⇒ x = 12; y = 5 ⇒ 12 × 5 = 60
  • 10 and 6 ⇒ x = 10; y = 6 ⇒ 10 × 6 = 60

<u>Let's check each possibilities using the equation (x - y = 4):</u>

  • 60 and 1 ⇒ 60 - 1 = 59 ≠ 4
  • 30 and 2 ⇒ 30 - 2 = 28 ≠ 4
  • 20 and 3 ⇒ 20 - 3 = 17 ≠ 4
  • 15 and 4 ⇒ 15 - 4 = 11 ≠ 4
  • 12 and 5 ⇒ 12 - 5 = 7 ≠ 4
  • 10 and 6 ⇒ 10 - 6 = 4 = 4 (Correct)

Thus, the values of x and y are 10 and 6 <u>respectively.</u>

Factors of 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 and 60

the only plausible answer would be 6 and 10

How to solve a system of equations using elimination?
Nastasia [14]
If  you have a problem like: 
4x+2y=20
2x+2y=16
 You would subtract
4x-2y=20
-2x+2y=16
You would get the new problum
2x=4
You now want to divide the 2 on both sides to solve for x
x=2

Now that you've solved for X you want to solve for y. So use substitution to solve for y. You would want to substatute the x for the 2 in either of the problums. I'll use the first one.
4(2)+2y=20

You first want to multiply te 4(2) you would get a new problum.
8+2y=20

Now you want to subtract the 8 on both sides.
2y=12

The last step to solve for y is to divide the 2 on both sides.
Y=6

So your answers would be
x=2
y=6

Find sin theta if cos theta is 4/5
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

cos²θ +sin²θ = 1 and cosθ =4/5

(4/5)² + sin²θ = 1 so : sin²θ = 1 - 16/25

sin²θ = 9/25 = (3/5)²

sinθ = 3/5 or sinθ = - 3/5 because : (3/5)²= (- 3/5)²= 9/25
