<span>w - amount of wheat purchased
r - amount of rye purchased 

12w+15r=18.30 /*2
15w+10r=16.75 /*3 

24w+30r=36.60, subtract this equation from the other one
45w+30r=50.25 


21w=13.65
w=13.65/21
w=0.65 is a cost per pound for wheat flour 

From the first equation we have
r=(18.30-12w)/15
r=(18.30-12*0.65)/15
r=0.70 is a cost per pound for rye flour</span>

Find a solution for the equation. Assume that all angles are acute angles.
Mekhanik [1.2K]
         tan(3θ + 17) = cot(θ + 7)
(3θ + 17) + (θ + 7) = 90
(3θ + θ) + (17 + 7) = 90
               4θ + 24 = 90
                     - 24  - 24
                        4θ = 66
