They always say to do the problem in parentheses first
X represent the smaller number and
represent the larger number
answer:
x = 0.80
y = 1.50
step-by-step explanation:
x = cost of tacos
y = cost of burritos
both equations:
3x + 2y = 5.40
2x + 1y = 3.10
^
turn this | into this |
v
y = 3.10 - 2x
then add it to the equation :
3x + 2 [ 3.10 - 2x ] = 5.40
3x + 6.2 - 4x = 5.40
-1x = - 0.8
x= 0.80
then add x = 0.80 to the equations to get :
3 [ 0.80 ] + 2y = 5.40
2.4 + 2y = 5.40
2y = 3
y = 1.5
Answer & Explanation:
To find the direction cosines of the vector a is need to divided the corresponding coordinate of vector by the length of the vector. The coordinates of the unit vector is equal to its direction cosines. Property of direction cosines. The sum of the squares of the direction cosines is equal to one.
2.5 /10 = 10 / x
100 = 2.5x
40 =x
