For this question, you have to work backwards, so if she ate a cookie, working backwards, you would have to add, not subtract or divide.

Mary had 5 cookies after she gave half away. So 5 is half of something. 5 x 2 = 10. She had 10 cookies before she gave half to her brother.

Before she had 10, she ate one. So you add one to the ten.(Remember, working backwards). 10+1=11.

She had 11 cookies after she gave half. So 11 x 2 = 22.
She had 22 cookies before she gave half away.
She ate one before she had 22. 22+1=23.
We are finished. Mary started with 23 cookies.

Hope you understand! :)

4x+(x-y/8)=17 and 2y+x-(5y+2/4)=2 by using elimination method
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

x=811/238, y=36/119. (811/238, 36/119).

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+(x-y/8)=17

2y+x-(5y+2/4)=2

-----------------------

4x+x-y/8=17

5x-y/8=17

40x-y=136

y=40x-136

------------------

2y+x-5y-2/4=2

2y-5y+x-1/2=2

-3y+x=2+1/2

-3y+x=4/2+1/2

-3y+x=5/2

-3(40x-136)+x=5/2

-120x+408+x=5/2

-119x=5/2-408

-119x=5/2-816/2

-119x=-811/2

119x=811/2

x=(811/2)/119

x=(811/2)(1/119)=811/238

y=40(811/238)-136

y=16220/119-136

y=36/119

x=811/238, y=36/119.

Plsssssss help<br>got 20 mins​<br>the question is: The sin of angle DCB is
Elena L [17]

Answer:

i. <DCB = 53.13^{o}

ii. Sin of <DCB = 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <DCB be represented by θ, so that;

Sin θ = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

Thus from the given diagram, we have;

Sin θ = \frac{4}{5}

        = 0.8

This implies that,

θ = Sin^{-1} 0.8

   = 53.1301

θ = 53.13^{o}

Therefore, <DCB = 53.13^{o}.

So that,

Sin of <DCB = Sin 53.13^{o}

                    = 0.8

Sin of <DCB = 0.8
