Answer x = 12 and y = 9
Step by step
First identify the equations
The sum of two numbers is 21
x + y = 21
Change to y intercept for ease of math
y = 21 - x ( call this equation a)
Three times the larger is equal to four times the smaller
3x = 4y (call this equation b)
Now substitute the value of y = 21 -x into equation b
3x = 4(21-x)
Distribute
3x = 84 - 4x
Now we want to isolate x by adding 4x to each side
3x + 4x = 84 -4x + 4x
Combine like terms
7x = 84
Now solve for x by dividing both sides by 7
x = 12

Now to find y
Using equation a from above
y = 21 - x
Substitute our x value of 12 into equation
y = 21 - 12
solve for y
y = 9
Now check your work
x = 12 and y = 9
The sum of two numbers is 21
12 + 9 = 21

Three times the larger (x) is equal to four times the smaller (y)
3x12 = 4x9
36 = 36

How do you get x trigonometry
Svetlanka [38]
Quick vocab:
sin=sine
cos=cosine
tan=tangent
theta=the angle
o=opposite side from angle
h=hypotenuse of triangle
a=adjacent side to angle

Three equations:
sin(theta)= o / h
cos(theta)= a / h
tan(theta)= o / a

Explanation of problem:

sin(x)= o / h
sin(x)= 16cm / 28cm
You'll substitute the 16cm in for o and 28cm for h
This is because 16cm is on the side that's opposite from the angle
28cm is on the hypotenuse of the triangle
One way to find the hypotenuse is look where the 90° is at and it's opposite from that

since you're trying to find the angle you'll have to inverse the sin to get it on the other side of the equal sign
Inverse is doing the opposite of so the inverse of sin is sin^-1

{ \sin}^{ - 1} (\frac{16cm}{28cm})
x = sin^-1 (16cm/28cm)

Answer:

x = 34.84990458°

I don't know how far rounded you'll need it
I hope this helped!

**WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST** MUST SHOW WORK!
Art [367]

To find the average of an amount of numbers, we simply add them up and divide them by the amount of numbers we have. For example, if we have 1,2, and 3 as our numbers, we can see that we have three numbers. Next, we add them up to get 1+2+3=6. Lastly, we divide 6 by the amount of numbers we have (3) to get 6/3=2 as our average. Applying that here, we see that there are four numbers. Next, we add them up using a calculator to get 5,678.54+3,665.77+4,231.98+4,768.99 =18345.28 . Finally, we divide that number by the amount of numbers we have (using a calculator) to get 18345.28/4=4,586.32, making B your answer.

Which of the following is the inverse of y = 2/3x + 1
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Y=3/2x - 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse, switch the x and y in the equation. Then solve for y.

Y=2/3x+1

X=2/3y+1

X-1=2/3y

3/2(x-1)=y

3/2x-3/2=y
