2+6=8

8 units

6/8=3/4=0.75 per unit

2 times 0.75=1.5
6 times 0.75=4.5

2 parts compost so 1.5kg compost

Given a system of linear equations; explain your strategy for solving the system, show the math required to solve the problem, a

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

(2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

y=3x-3

y=2x-1

We equate both equations and solve for x.

$3x - 3 = 2x - 1$

Group like terms to get:

$3x - 2x = - 1 + 3$

$x = 2$

We put x=2 into y=3x-3 to get:

$y = 3 \times 2 - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3$

As an ordered pair the solution is (2,3)

If sin theta = -5/7 , which of the following are possible?

Sav [38]

Solution:

we are given that

$sin \theta=-5/7$

As we know that

$cos \theta =\sqrt{1-sin^2 \theta} \\$

Substitute the value we get

$cos \theta=\sqrt{1-(\frac{-5}{7})^2} \\
\\
cos \theta=\sqrt{1-(\frac{25}{49})} \\
\\
cos \theta=\sqrt{(\frac{24}{49})} =\frac{\sqrt{24}}{7}\\$

Since $sec \theta=\frac{1}{cos \theta}\\$

So here $sec \theta=\frac{7}{\sqrt{24}}\\$

As we know that

$tan \theta=\frac{sin \theta}{cos \theta}\\
\\ \text{Substitute the values we get}\\
\\
tan \theta=\frac{-5/7}{\frac{\sqrt{24}}{7}}\\
\\
tan \theta=\frac{-5}{\sqrt{24}}\\$

Hence the correct option is C.
