Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is classic right triangle trig.  Side a, our unknown, is adjacent to angle C which is a given.  You always have to use a given angle and side to find a missing side, so we have to figure out how the two givens are related to our unknown.  Side a is adjacent to angle C, and we are also given the hypotenuse.  We know side a is not the hypotenuse since the hypotenuse is ALWAYS the side across from the 90 degree angle.  The tan ratio of angle C will give us a way to have only one unknown.

tan 43 = a/26 and

26 tan 43 = a

Use your calculator now to find the missing side.  

a = 24.2 units long

I'm in algebra please help and explain with work

2x+4y=0
3x+y=10
So what we want to do is get y onto one side by itself using whatever equation you like.
So I'm taking 2x+4y=0 and subtracting 4y from both sides
So we end up with
2x=4y
Divide both sides by four
2/4x is 1/2 x
So we get 1/2x=y
Take this and plug it into the other equation
3x+y=10
3x+1/2x=10
Add your like terms
3 1/2x=10
Putting 3 1/2 as a mixed number we get 7/2
So..
7/2x=10
Multiply by the opposite of 7/2 on both sides
Which is 2/7 this will cancel out the left side.
So we end up with
X= 10•2/7
X=20/7
Which is 2 and 6/7 as a mixed number.
