That's also known as the addition method.
   x + y = 40
.08x+.03y=1.7
We need to multiply the top equation by either a -.08 or a -.03 to eliminate one of the variables.  Let's get rid of the y:
-.03(x + y) = -.03(40) which gives us

-.03x - .03y = -1.2
 .08x + .03y = 1.7
When we add those together we are left with .05x = .5 and x = 10.  If we sub that 10 in for x into the first equation (either would have worked but the first one is way easier to work with!) we get 10 + y = 40 and y = 30.  So the solution to the system is (10, 30)

Use the given graph to determine the limit, if it exists.
Galina-37 [17]
<span>"A coordinate graph is shown with a downward sloped line crossing the y axis at the origin that ends at the open point 3, -1" → this is the left side of the graph, so the limit is -1.</span>

Albert wants to show that tan(theta)sin(theta)+cos(theta)=sec(theta). He writes the following proof:
Nataly_w [17]
We have that
<span>tan(theta)sin(theta)+cos(theta)=sec(theta)
</span><span>[sin(theta)/cos(theta)] sin(theta)+cos(theta)=sec(theta)
</span>[sin²<span>(theta)/cos(theta)]+cos(theta)=sec(theta)

</span><span>the next step in this proof
is </span>write cos(theta)=cos²<span>(theta)/cos(theta) to find a common denominator
so

</span>[sin²(theta)/cos(theta)]+[cos²(theta)/cos(theta)]=sec(theta)<span>

</span>{[sin²(theta)+cos²(theta)]/cos(theta)}=sec(theta)<span>

remember that 
</span>sin²(theta)+cos²(theta)=1
{[sin²(theta)+cos²(theta)]/cos(theta)}------------> 1/cos(theta)
and 
1/cos(theta)=sec(theta)-------------> is ok

the answer is the option <span>B.)
He should write cos(theta)=cos^2(theta)/cos(theta) to find a common denominator.</span>

This equation shows how the cost of a charity gala depends on the number of attendees. d = 5.1a + 11.6 The variable a represents
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

$98.30=5.1a+11.6
98.30-11.6=5a+11.6-11.6
86.7=5a
86.7/5=5a/5
17.34=a
So only 17 people can attend
