6 0

Answer:

x=11, y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

x= 6+ (1/2)y

x+y=21

substitute the first equation into the second equation:

(6+ (1/2y)) + y =21

to get:

y=10

then to find x:

x+ 10 = 21

x=11

Sebastian solved the radical equation y + 1 = but did not check his solution. (y + 1)2 = y2 + 2y + 1 = –2y – 3 y2 + 4y + 4 = 0 (

Softa [21]

Answer:

There are no true solutions to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct equation is

$y+1=\sqrt{-2y-3}$

Solve for y

squared both sides

$(y+1)^2=(-2y-3)$

$(y^2+2y+1)=(-2y-3)$

$y^2+2y+1+2y+3=0$

$y^2+4y+4=0$

$(y+2)(y+2)=0$

$y=-2$

Verify

substitute the value of y in the original expression

$-2+1=\sqrt{-2(-2)-3}$

$-1=1$ ----> is not true

therefore

There are no true solutions to the equation.

Suppose cos(O) = 12/13, Quadrant I. Find sin(O). A:13/12 B:5/13 C:13/5 D:5/12

noname [10]

Answer:

B: 5/13

Step-by-step explanation:

pythagoras theorem: a^2 + b^2 (sides) = c^2 (hypotenuse)

a^2 + 12^2 = 13^2

a^2 + 144 = 169

a^2 = 25

a = 5

sin = opp/hyp

sin 5/13
