Answer:
a. (-1/2, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficients of x have opposite signs, so the x-terms can be eliminated by adding the two equations.
(2y -12x) +(3y +12x) = (16) +(9)
5y = 25 . . . . . . simplify
y = 5 . . . . . . . . .divide by 5
This matches only answer choice A.

<em>Check</em>
The other part of answer choice A is x = -1/2. We can test this to make sure it works:
2(5) -12(-1/2) = 16
10 + 6 = 16 . . . . . . true, the selected answer works OK
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Use identities to set the equation up as a quadratic</u>

<u>Make the substitution u=cos(x) and solve the quadratic</u>

Hence, 
Answer:
x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Step 1: Identify the similar triangles</em>
Triangle DQC and triangle DBR are similar
<em>Step 2: Identify the parallel lines</em>
QC is parallel to BR
<em>Step 3: Find x</em>
DQ/QB = DC/CR
40/24 = x/15
x = 25
