You need to make a series of equations from what you are given first. I am going to use the first letter of each of the names to represent the length of that persons wire.
1/2s=2/5d
3c=s
s+d+c=6 ft
Okay. Now you can combine the first two equations knowing what s equals:
1/2(3c)=2/5d
d=15c/4
Now you have d=15c/4 and s=3c, so you can replace d and s in the third equation.
3c+15c/4+c=6
Then solve for c and plug it into the equation 3c=s to find the length of sarah's wire.
Let the number of pages read on day 1 be = x
Then on day 2 he read twice the pages from day one, it is = 2x
On 3rd day he read 6 pages less than 1st day, it is = x-6
Total pages are = 458
The equation becomes: 
So on the third day, Aiden read 
pages.

Answer:
sin(D) = cos(E) = (√3)/2
cos(D) = sin(E) = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relationships between trig functions and right triangle sides.
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
For this diagram, this means ...
sin(D) = cos(E) = (13√3)/26 = (√3)/2
cos(D) = sin(E) = 13/26 = 1/2
So there are two ways.
First you could solve for y and plug it into the calculator. one equation for y1 and another for y2. Then go 2nd trace and press 5 and then press enter 3 times to find the intersection.
the second way is to solve by hand. I would suggest solve the first equation for y and plug the equation solved for y into the other equation. so y = -3x + 9 and 3x-5y=15. Then you could do 3x - 5(-3x+9) = 15. Finally solve for x and plug in x into both equations to see if you get the same y value.
The answer should be (10/3, -1)
