Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The side labeled 'y' is the 'adjacent side' of the 30° angle. The hypotenuse of this right triangle is 2√3.

The trig function relating this 30° angle, the 2√3 hypotenuse and the adj. side labeled 'y' is the cosine:

adjacent side y

cos 30° = ---------------------- = --------- , and the value of cos 30° is (√3)/2.

2√3 2√3

Solving for y, we get 2√3 (√3)/2, or y = 2(3)/2, or y = 3

Solve each system by elimination.

mixas84 [53]

For eliminating you need to have a variable that cancels the other out and in this case 2x and -2x do. Then you want to take -3y+9y and add the numbers after the equal sign. -9+3
