Answer:

$a + b + c = \pi \\ = > c= \pi - a - b \\ < = > \tan(c) = \tan(\pi - a - b) = -\tan(a + b)$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have:

$\tan(a) + \tan(b) + \tan(c) \\ = \tan(a) + \tan(b) - \tan(a + b) \\ = \tan( a) + \tan(b) - \frac{ \tan(a) + \tan(b) }{1 - \tan(a) \tan(b) } \\ = \frac{ ( \tan(a) + \tan(b) ) \tan(a) \tan(b) }{ \tan(a) \tan(b) - 1 } (1)$

we also have:

$\tan(a) \tan(b) \tan(c) \\ = - \tan(a) \tan(b) \tan(a + b) \\ = \frac{ -(\tan( a ) + \tan(b) ) \tan(a) \tan(b) }{1 - \tan(a) \tan(b) } \\ = \frac{( \tan(a) + \tan(b)) \tan(a) \tan(b) }{ \tan(a) \tan(b) - 1 } (2)$

from (1)(2) => proven

A cash register contains $10 bills and $20 bills with a total value of $520. If there are 32 bills total, then how many of each

ohaa [14]

12 is the number of $10 bills

20 is the number of $20 bills

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Let's note

a the number of $10 bills

b the number of $20 bills

The total value is $520 so we can write the first equation (1)

$\boxed{\sf 10a \ + \ 20b \ = \ 520 }$

We know that there are 32 bills in total so we can write the second equation (2)

$\boxed{\sf a \ + \ b \ = \ 32 }$

(1) - 10*(2) gives

10a + 20b - 10(a+b) = 520 - 320 = 200

10a + 20b - 10a - 10b = 10b = 200

So b = 200/10=20

and then from (2) a = 32 - 20 = 12

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you
