Answer:

11 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the bigger number and y the smaller

the sum of the two numbers is 18

x+y=18

x=18-y------i

the sum of the greater number and twice the smaller number is 25

x+2y=25----ii

substituting i in ii

18-y+2y=25

collecting like terms

y=25-18

y=7

subtitute for y in i to get x

x=18-y

x=18-7

x=11

Verify the identity. 4 csc 2x = 2 csc2x tan x

vlada-n [284]

Step-by-step explanation:

$4csc(2x) = 2csc^2(x) tan(x)$

We start with Left hand side

We know that csc(x) = 1/ sin(x)

So csc(2x) is replaced by 1/sin(2x)

$4 \frac{1}{sin(2x)}$

Also we use identity

sin(2x) = 2 sin(x) cos(x)

$4 \frac{1}{2sin(x)cos(x)}$

4 divide by 2 is 2

Now we multiply top and bottom by sin(x) because we need tan(x) in our answer

$2\frac{1*sin(x)}{sin(x)cos(x)*sin(x)}$

$2\frac{sin(x)}{sin^2(x)cos(x)}$

$2\frac{1}{sin^2(x)} \frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}$

We know that sinx/ cosx = tan(x)

Also 1/ sin(x)= csc(x)

so it becomes 2csc^2(x) tan(x) , Right hand side

Hence verified

Big will's ice cream cone contains 16 grams of saturated fat. This is 80% of his total daily allowance. What big will's total da

Ahat [919]

Answer:

20 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total allowance of fat

16 grams is 80% of his total allowance

x * 80% = 16

Change percent to a decimal

x *.8 = 16

Divide each side by .9

.8x/.8 = 16/.8

x = 20
