Answer:

-34

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b = -6

x + y + z = -2

We want 8a so multiply the first equation by 8

8( a + b) = -6*8

8a+8b = -48

We also want -7x so multiply the second equation by -7

-7(x + y + z) = -2*-7

-7x-7y-7z = 14

Add the two equations together

8a+8b = -48

-7x-7y-7z = 14

-------------------------

8a+8b-7x-7y-7z = -34

Rearranging the order

8a - 7x - 7z - 7y + 8b = -34

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Matt is ordering basketball jerseys For his country's league. Last year he ordered 512 jerseys. 64 those jerseys were orange.

The ratio of all Jerseys to Jerseys that are Orange =

512 : 64

8 : 1

Step 2

If he ordered 600 jerseys this year, how many of them will be Orange if the ratio of orange jerseys to all the jerseys remain the same?

Since we are maintaining the ratio in step 1

Let the number of orange jerseys = x

600 : x = 8 : 1

Hence

600/x = 8/1

Cross Multiply

8 × x = 600 × 1

8x = 600

x = 600/8

x = 75

Therefore, this year, the number of orange jerseys = 75

NOTE: You need the Unit Circle to answer these (attached)

5) cos (t) = 1

Where on the Unit Circle does cos = 1?

Answer: at 0π (0°) and all rotations of 2π (360°)

In radians: t = 0π + 2πn

In degrees: t = 0° + 360n

******************************************************************************

$6)\quad sin (t) = \dfrac{1}{2}$

Where on the Unit Circle does $sin = \dfrac{1}{2}$

Hint: sin is only positive in Quadrants I and II

$\text{Answer: at}\ \dfrac{\pi}{6}\ (30^o)\ \text{and at}\ \dfrac{5\pi}{6}\ (150^o)\ \text{and all rotations of}\ 2\pi \ (360^o)$

$\text{In radians:}\ t = \dfrac{\pi}{6} + 2\pi n \quad \text{and}\quad \dfrac{5\pi}{6} + 2\pi n$

In degrees: t = 30° + 360n and 150° + 360n

******************************************************************************

$7)\quad tan (t) = -\sqrt3$

Where on the Unit Circle does $\dfrac{sin}{cos} = \dfrac{-\sqrt3}{1}\ or\ \dfrac{\sqrt3}{-1}\quad \rightarrow \quad (1,-\sqrt3)\ or\ (-1, \sqrt3)$

Hint: sin and cos are only opposite signs in Quadrants II and IV

$\text{Answer: at}\ \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\ (120^o)\ \text{and at}\ \dfrac{5\pi}{3}\ (300^o)\ \text{and all rotations of}\ 2\pi \ (360^o)$

$\text{In radians:}\ t = \dfrac{2\pi}{3} + 2\pi n \quad \text{and}\quad \dfrac{5\pi}{3} + 2\pi n$

In degrees: t = 120° + 360n and 300° + 360n
