So
if x is the number she spent on each sister and y is the number she spent on each nephew then
180=3x+2y

she wants to spend 15 dollars more on sisters than nephews
so
x=15+y
solve

we have
180=3x+2y and
x=15+y
subsitute 15+y for x

180=3(15+y)+2y
180=45+3y+2y
180=45+5y
minus 45 both sides
135=5y
divide both sides by 5
27=y

solve for x
x=15+y
x=15+27
x=42

she spent $42 on each sister

Given sin θ = 7/25, find the value of a and b in the following statements.
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a = 7, b = 24 if quadrant 1

a = -7, b = -24 if quadrant 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan theta = sin(theta) × sec(theta)

a/24 = (7/25) × (25/b)

ab = 168

a = 168/b

1 + tan²(theta) = sec²(theta)

1 + a²/576 = 625/b²

1 + 168²/576b² = 625/b²

1 = 576/b²

b = 24 (+ or -)

a = 168/24 = 7 (+ or -)
