Answer:

\dfrac{5}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that \sec{\theta}=\dfrac{1}{\cos{\theta}}. On the other hand,

we can use the equality

\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta=1

to find the absolute value of \cos \theta. It holds that

\left[\dfrac{4}{5}\right]^2+\cos^2 \theta = 1 \Rightarrow \\\\\\\quad \cos^2 \theta = 1-\dfrac{16}{25}=\dfrac{9}{25} \Rightarrow\\ \\\cos \theta = \pm \dfrac{3}{5}

Now, in the quadrant 4 the values of cosine is positive for all theta, hence

\cos{\theta}=\dfrac{3}{5} \quad \Rightarrow  \quad \sec \theta=\dfrac{1}{\cos\theta}=\dfrac{5}{3}

Need help finding out what 3x=y and x-2y = 10
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

x=-2, y=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple substitution.

Since y is isolated in one of the equations already, you can plug it into the second equation.

x - 2(3x) = 10

x - 6x = 10

-5x = 10

x = -2

Sub. x = -2 into 3x = y:

3(-2) = y

y = -6
