x + y = 44 and y = x + 2 represents the word problem

A because y is larger than x by 2.

x + y = 44
y = x + 2

Substitute eqn 2 into eqn 1
x + x + 2 = 44
2x = 42
x = 21

Thus, the smaller number is 21.

bought a 13 lb package of steaks that cost $45.92 .What is the cost per pound of steak ? Aso, how many pounds do I get per dolla
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Cost per pound: $3.53

Pounds per dollar: 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost per pound is simply the total cost divided by the amount of pounds you got for the total cost. To get the price per pound, you divide $1 by the cost per pound, $3.53, to get the amount of pounds you get per dollar.

Prove that.....cos^2α(cosec^2α-cot^2α)=cos^2α​
Dafna1 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

We must prove that

cos²a(csc²a-cot²a) = cos²a

If we look at both sides, we can see that we have cos²a * something = cos²a. Therefore, if we can get that something to equal 1, we have our proof. In this case, that something is csc²a-cot²a. Using this information, we can work from within the parenthesis and go from there.

We can start by expanding the items in the parenthesis. Taking that csc(x) = 1/sin(x) and cot(a) = cos(x)/sin(x), we can say that

cos²a(csc²a-cot²a) = cos²a(1/sin²a - cos²a/sin²a). Because both items in the parenthesis have a denominator of sin²a, we can subtract cos²a from 1 to get

cos²a(1/sin²a - cos²a/sin²a)= cos²a((1-cos²a)/sin²a))

Next, we know that cos²a+sin²a=1, so 1-cos²a = sin²a. Plugging that in, we get

cos²a((1-cos²a)/sin²a)) = cos²a(sin²a/sin²a)

= cos²a(1)

= cos²a

Each week morning sunshine cafe orders coffee packets that costs $2.50 per packet with a 10.00 shipping fee . If morning sunshin
Anni [7]

Answer:

193 packets

Step-by-step explanation:

Each morning they order with a shipping fee of $10 daily.

Considering they order all 7 days of the week, so the total shipping fee for the week would be:

7 * $10 = $70

Their budget for the week is $554, out of which $70 is for shipping for the week, so remaining balance would be:

554 - 70 = $484

This 484 dollars are for coffee packets that cost $2.50 each, so the number of packets would be:

484/2.50 = 193.6

You can't order fractional packets so 193 packets is the max in this budget
