2x -3 = 15

Work:
2x -3 +3 = 15+3

2x = 18

2x/2 = 18/2

x=9

Solve this linear system 28x + 44y = 964.40 21x + 33y = 723.30

Sladkaya [172]

28x + 44y = 964.40

21x + 33y = 723.30

Let's multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by -4

84x + 176y = 3857.6

-84x - 132y = -2893.2

Add the equations together.

0 + 44y = 964.4

Simplify

44y = 964.4

Divide both sides by 44

y = 964.4/44

Since we have the value of y, let's plug 964.4/44 into y for the first equation.

28x + 44(964.4/44) = 964.40

Simplify the left side

28x + 964.4 = 964.4

Subtract 964.4 from both sides

28x = 0

Divide both sides by 0

x = 0

In conclusion,

y = 964.4/44

x = 0

Here is a list of numbers: 3.9 , 7 , 3.3 , 1 , 1.4 , 1.7 , 2.1 , 3.3 , 5.2 State the median. Give your answer as a decimal.

Ber [7]

<h3>A median.</h3>

The "middle" of a sorted list of numbers. To find the Median, place the numbers in value order and find the middle number.

When there are two middle numbers we average them.

We have:

3.9, 7, 3.3, 1, 1.4, 1.7, 2.1, 3.3, 5.2

Let's sort the numbers from the smallest to the largest

1, 1.4, 1.7, 2.1, <u>3.3</u>, 3.3, 3.9, 5.2, 7

<h2>The median is 3.3</h2>

1. tan a = cot(a + 10°)

Temka [501]

Answer:

$a=40+90n$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a cofunction identity on the right hand side or left hand side...

So $\tan(a)=\cot(90-a)$ .

We have the equation:

$\tan(a)=\cot(a+10)$

Make the above replacement:

$\cot(90-a)=\cot(a+10)$

Since cotangent has period 180 degrees, we can also write this as:

$\cot(90-a+180n)=\cot(a+10)$

So solving the following will give us a set of solutions for $a$ :

$90-a+180n=a+10$

Add $a$ on both sides:

$90+180n=2a+10$

Subtract 10 on both sides:

$80+180n=2a$

Divide both sides by 2:

$40+90n=a$

Symmetric property:

$a=40+90n$
