The sum of two consecutive even number's is 66. find the numbers. ​
Elena L [17]

Answer:

32\ and\ 34.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smaller number.

The next even number will be (x + 2).

x+x+2=66

2x+2=66

Subtract 2 from both sides:

2x+2-2=66-2

2x=64

Divide both sides by 2:

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{64}{2}

x=32

The smaller number is 32.

Larger number =32+2=34

Simplify (tan(θ)+cot(θ))/(sec(θ)•csc(θ)) completely
AlekseyPX
\dfrac{\tan\theta+\cot\theta}{\sec\theta\csc\theta}=\dfrac{\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}+\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}}{\dfrac1{\cos\theta}\dfrac1{\sin\theta}}=\dfrac{\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta}1=1
