The sum of two numbers:

x + y = 108

The difference of the same two numbers:

x - y = 78

We can use substitution to figure out x and y:

x - y = 78 can be changed to x = 78 + y

We can plug this into the first equation:

78 + y + y = 108

78 + 2y = 108

2y = 30

y = 15

Now solve for x using any of the two equations. I'll use the first equation since it's easier:

x + 15 = 108

x = 93

Answer: the rule is to add 1.5

3 + 1.5 = 4.5
4.5 + 1.5 = 6
6 + 1.5 = 7.5
etc...

Six more than a quotient of a number and three is greater than 14

Lorico [155]

Remark

You sure do have to read that a couple of times.

The quotient is an answer after a division takes place So you are dividing x/3

When you have figured out that phrase you add six onto it.

(x/3) + 6 > 14 Subtract 6 from both sides.

(x/3) +6 - 6 > 14 - 6

(x/3) > 8 Now multiply by 3

x > 8*3

x > 24 <<<<<< Answer

Verify identity: (sec(x)-csc(x))/(sec(x)+csc(x))=(tan(x)-1)/(tan(x)+1)

Nikitich [7]

So hmmm let's do the left-hand-side first

$\bf \cfrac{sec(x)-csc(x)}{sec(x)+csc(x)}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{cos(x)}-\frac{1}{sin(x)}}{\frac{1}{cos(x)}+\frac{1}{sin(x)}}\implies 
\cfrac{\frac{sin(x)-cos(x)}{cos(x)sin(x)}}{\frac{sin(x)+cos(x)}{cos(x)sin(x)}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{sin(x)-cos(x)}{cos(x)sin(x)}\cdot \cfrac{cos(x)sin(x)}{sin(x)+cos(x)}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{sin(x)-cos(x)}{sin(x)+cos(x)}}$

now, let's do the right-hand-side then

$\bf \cfrac{tan(x)-1}{tan(x)+1}\implies \cfrac{\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}-1}{\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}+1}\implies \cfrac{\frac{sin(x)-cos(x)}{cos(x)}}{\frac{sin(x)+cos(x)}{cos(x)}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{sin(x)-cos(x)}{cos(x)}\cdot \cfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)+cos(x)}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{sin(x)-cos(x)}{sin(x)+cos(x)}}$

if you are told only that you scored 80th percentile do you know from the description exactly how it wad calculated? Explain

Dmitriy789 [7]

We know that there is no universal acceptance meaning of a percentile. When someone told you that you are in the 80th percentile, the meaning of that is you have achieved the lowest score that is greater than 80 percent of the score. It is calculated by using the formula R = P/100 x (N + 1)
