Solve for x and y

Mathematics
1 answer:
Katyanochek1 [597]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = (5+a)/2

y = (5-a)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=5

x−y=a

Add the two equations together

x+y=5

x−y=a

-----------------

2x = 5+a

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = (5+a)/2

x = (5+a)/2

Multiply the second equation by -1  -x+y = -a

Then add the two equations together

x+y=5

-x+y=-a

-------------------

 2y = 5-a

Divide each equation by 2

2y/2 = (5-a)/2

y = (5-a)/2

Which factor would make a bank think that a prospective buyer would be more likely to pay a mortgage on time? Select the best an
Veseljchak [2.6K]
The best answer is "<span>The buyer paid over 20% of the sales price of the home as a down payment." 

This indicates that not only is the buyer paying above the minimum down payment, which means he/she has more cash than the minimum needed to purchase the home, but also that the monthly payments, interest, and total loan will be lower. All of this indicates a less risky prospective borrower. </span>

Which triangle is similar to ΔABC if sin(A) = 1/4, cos(A) = √15/4, and tan(A) = 1/√15?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

D is the similar triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

A quick solution to this problem is using the hypotenuse.

You know that sin(A) is 1/4 and sin is opposite / hypotenuse, so the hypotenuse should be a multiple of 4 in order for the fraction to reduce to 1/4. (it might not be, but I usually do this to see if there's a quick solution)

Using this trick, you find that the only triangle with a hypotenuse that is a multiple of 4 is the last triangle. Now simply double check the other trig. functions to check whether it truly is the same.

To check each trig function, you must first determine the corresponding angle to angle A. Again, for simplicities sake, let's use 1/4 as a determiner for the angle. The only combination of sides divided by hypotenuse that simplifies to 1/4 is 6/24. Therefore 6 must be opposite to the angle, since it's sin(a) = 1/4 and sin is opposite / hypotenuse. So the angle is X.

Now check for both cos and tan

Cos(x) = 6(15)^0.5 / 24 = (15)^0.5 / 4  CHECKS OUT

Tan(x) = 6 / 6(15)^0.5 = 1 / (15)^0.5   CHECKS OUT

Since everything checks out, then answer D is truly correct.
