Answer:

x + (5x-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

x stands for the number of coins Nancy has

Kevin has 9 less than 5 times what Nancy has, so his part of the expression is 5x-9

To find the total number of coins they have, you have to add Nancy's number of coins x plus Kevin's number of coins 5x-9

x + (5x-9)

But you have to put parentheses around Kevin's 5x-9 so that part of the expression is calculated first, as per order of operations

Prove this trigonometric equation;<br><br> - tan^2x + sec^2x = 1,
alekssr [168]
Hey there :)

- tan²x + sec²x = 1    or    1 + tan²x = sec²x

sin²x + cos²x = 1 
Divide the whole by cos²x

\frac{sin^2x}{cos^2x} + \frac{cos^2x}{cos^2x} = \frac{1}{cos^2x}

\frac{sinx}{cosx} = tanx so \frac{sin^2x}{cos^2x} = tan^2x
and
\frac{1}{cosx} = secx so \frac{1}{cos^2x} = sec^2x

Therefore,
tan²x + 1 = sec²x
Take tan²x to the other side {You will have the same answer}

1 = - tan²x = sec²x or sec²x - tanx = 1
