Answer:

He has left 1.3 gallons of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- William has 15 3/5 quarts of paint

- He divided the amount of paint equally into 3 gallon-sized containers

- He used 2 containers

- We need to find how many gallons of paint is left

* Lets use the information above to solve the problem

∵ William has 15 3/5 quarts of paint

∵ 15 3/5 = 15.6 quarts as a decimal

∵ 4 quarts = 1 gallon

∴ 15.6 quarts = 15.6 ÷ 4 = 3.9 gallons

∵ He divided the paint equally into 3 gallon-sized containers

∴ Each container has = 3.9 ÷ 3 = 1.3 gallons

∴ Each container has 1.3 gallons of paint

∵ He used 2 of them

∴ He used ⇒ 2 × 1.3 = 2.6 gallons

∴ The third container is left

∵ The container has 1.3 gallons

∴ He has left 1.3 gallons of paint

Choose the solution(s) of the following system of equations x2 + y2 = 6 x2 – y = 6

ElenaW [278]

<h2>Answer</h2>

$x=\sqrt{6}, y=0\\ x=-\sqrt{6} , y=0\\x=\sqrt{5} , y=-1\\x=-\sqrt{5} , y=-1$

Or as ordered pairs: $(\sqrt{6} ,0),(-\sqrt{6} ,0),(\sqrt{5} ,-1),(-\sqrt{5} ,-1)$

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Lets solve our system of equations step by step

$x^2+y^2=6$ equation (1)

$x^2-y=6$ equation (2)

1. Solve for $x^2$ in equation (2)

$x^2-y=6$

$x^2=6+y$ equation (3)

2. Replace equation (3) in equation (1) and solve for $y$

$x^2+y^2=6$

$6+y+y^2=6$

$y^2+y=0$

$y(y+1)=0$

$y=0$ or $y=-1$

3. Replace the values of $y$ in equation (3) and solve for $x$

- For $y=0$

$x^2=6+y$

$x^2=6$

$x=\sqrt{6}$ or $x=-\sqrt{6}$

- For $y=-1$

$x^2=6+y$

$x^2=6-1$

$x^2=5$

$x=\sqrt{5}$ or $x=-\sqrt{5}$

So, the solutions of our system of equation are:

$x=\sqrt{6}, y=0\\ x=-\sqrt{6} , y=0\\x=\sqrt{5} , y=-1\\x=-\sqrt{5} , y=-1$

Find all solutions to the equation in the interval [0, 2pi). COS X = sin 2x

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cos x=sin 2x

sin 2x-cos x=0

2 sin x cos x-cos x=0

cos x(2 sin x-1)=0

either cos x=0

$x=\frac{\pi }{2},\frac{3\pi }{2}$

2 sin x-1=0

$sin x=\frac{1}{2} =sin (\frac{\pi }{6}),sin(\pi -\frac{\pi }{6} )\\x=\frac{\pi }{6} ,\frac{5 \pi }{6}$

Find the value of x. Leave answers if necessary in the simplest radical form.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

cos 45° = base / hypotenuse

1/√2 = base / 15√2

15√2 = base√2

Base, = 15

sin 60° = perpendicular / hypotenuse

hypotenuse = x

√3/2 = 15 / x

x √3 = 30

x = 30 / √3

x = 10√3
