x+y=120_______1
x=4*y_________2
x=4y
substitute 4y for x in equation 1
`4y+y=120
5y=120
eliminate the coefficient of y
y=120/5
y=24
now,input 24 for y in equation 2
`x=4y
x=4*24
x=96
thus, the numbers are
96 and 24
Use the cos ratio to figure this out. You have the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the leg on the ground. The hypotenuse is 20 and the leg is 10. The cos ratio says that cosA = side adjacent/hypotenuse. So fill in the blanks here: cosA = 10/20...cosA=1/2. In your calculator, you will enter inverse cos(.5) to find that the angle in question is 60 degrees. To find the inverse function on your calculator, press the "2nd" button and the "cos" then in the (), enter ".5".
You just add the amount she spent and the amount she had left over to find out how much she had before she went into the game store. So 9.72+34.79 is $44.51. Hopefully this helped her out.
