 x is the number of adults and y is the number of children.
   x + y = 12
<span>14x + 10y = 140
lets multiply the first equation by -10 and then add it to the second equation:
-10x - 10y = -120
</span>14x + 10y = <span>140
</span>-----------------------
4x + 0 = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5
then substitute in the original equation:
x + y = <span>12
</span>5 + y = <span>12
</span>y = 12 - 5
y = 7
therefore there were 5 adults and 7 children

AC is tangent to circle O at point C. What is the length of OC
Sedaia [141]

Let OC is x, so OC=OB=x

{4}^{2}  + x^{2}  =  {(2 + x)}^{2}  \\ 16 +  {x}^{2}  = 4 + 4x +  {x}^{2}  \\ 12 = 4x \\ x = 3

Answer: OC=3 points

SinA=√1-x÷√1+X<br> Find the value of cosA
Irina-Kira [14]

The value of cos A is √(1 + x²)/ (1 - x²) /√1 + x

<h3>Trigonometric ratios</h3>

It is important to note that

sin A = opposite/ hypotenuse

cos A = adjacent/ hypotenuse

Then,

opposite = \sqrt{1} - x

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{1} + x

Let's find the adjacent side using the Pythagorean theroem

(\sqrt{1} + x)^2 = (\sqrt{1 -x } )^2 + x^2

1 + x^2 = 1 - x^2 + x^2

x = \sqrt{\frac{1 + x^2}{1 -x^2} }

cos A = x/hypotenuse

cos A = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{1+x^2}{1 -x^2} } }{\sqrt{1} +x}

cos A = √(1 + x²)/ (1 - x²) /√1 + x

Thus, the value of cos A is √(1 + x²)/ (1 - x²) /√1 + x
