Answer:
a. (-1/2, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficients of x have opposite signs, so the x-terms can be eliminated by adding the two equations.
(2y -12x) +(3y +12x) = (16) +(9)
5y = 25 . . . . . . simplify
y = 5 . . . . . . . . .divide by 5
This matches only answer choice A.

<em>Check</em>
The other part of answer choice A is x = -1/2. We can test this to make sure it works:
2(5) -12(-1/2) = 16
10 + 6 = 16 . . . . . . true, the selected answer works OK
Answer:
<em>π/2 and π/3</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation 2cos²x - cosx = 0, to find the solution to the equation, we will follow the following step.
let P = cosx
The equation becomes 2P²-P = 0
P(2P-1) = 0
P = 0 and 2P-1 = 0
P= 0 and P = 1/2
Since P = cosx
cosx = 0 and cos(x) = 1/2
If cos(x) = 0
x = cos⁻¹0
x = 90⁰
x = π/2
If cos(x) = 1/2
x = cos⁻¹1/2
x = 60⁰
x = π/3
<em>Hence the solutions to the equation are π/2 and π/3.</em>
You want to get the x's on one side and all the other numbers on the other side of the equation.
2x-5x+6=0
2x-5x=-6
-3x=-6
x=2
