This is a system of equations. We can solve it by recognizing the two linear equalities we've given to solve this equation.

First, let's start off by recognizing two variables: x and y. x will be our number of hard puzzles, and y will be our number of easy puzzles. We're given that the number of hard puzzles and easy puzzles sum to 50, so we can rewrite that as:

x+y=50

Next, we're given that the sum of the points gained from the hard puzzles (60x), and the number of points gained from the easy puzzles (30y), sum to 1950. We can rewrite that as:

60x+30y=1950

Now, we have our two linear equations, and we must solve for the hard puzzles, so x. Solving for the hard puzzles means eliminating the easy puzzles from our systems, so we can multiply our first equation by 30, and subtract it from the first equation. This is a technique called elimination.

30x+30y=1500 \\ 60x+30y=1950 \\ 30x=450 \implies x=15

Since x=15, Tina has solved 15 hard puzzles.

How cos π/3=1/2?<br>having some problems learning continuity.
Bingel [31]

You can show that \cos\frac\pi3=\frac12 by constructing a triangle.

Take two points, O(0, 0) and A(1, 0), and let B be the point on the unit circle such that the angle between the line segments OA and OB is \frac\pi3 radians.

Since both A and B lie on the circle, the line segments OA and OB both have length 1 (same as the circle's radius). We finish constructing the triangle by connect A and B.

Since OB and OA have the same length, triangle OAB is isosceles, but more than that, it's also equilateral. Why? Because the interior angles of any triangle always add to \pi radians. We know one of the angles is \frac\pi3 radians, which leaves a contribution of \frac{2\pi}3 radians between the remaining angles A and B. Angles A and B must be congruent (because OAB is isosceles), which means they also have measure \frac\pi3 radians.

Next, draw an altitude of the triangle through point B, and label the point where it meets the "base" OA, C. Since OAB is equilateral, the altitude BC is also a perpendicular bisector. That means OC has length \frac12, and by definition of \cos we have

\cos\dfrac\pi3=\dfrac{OC}{OB}=\dfrac{\frac12}1=\dfrac12
