Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + 2y = 8 → (1)

- 2x + 3y = 5 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 2y from both sides

x = 8 - 2y → (3)

Substitute x = 8 - 2y into (2)

- 2(8 - 2y) + 3y = 5 ← distribute and simplify left side

- 16 + 4y + 3y = 5

- 16 + 7y = 5 ( add 16 to both sides )

7y = 21 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = 3

Substitute y = 3 in (3) for corresponding value of x

x = 8 - 2(3) = 8 - 6 = 2

Thus x = 2 and y = 3

2x + 3y = 2(2) + 3(3) = 4 + 9 = 13

What is the maximum value of Sinx+cosx
Harrizon [31]

The answer is 2 since both

\sin(x),\cos(x)\in[0,1]

The maximum value of \sin(x) is 1 and the same for cosine. The sum becomes 1 + 1 which evaluates to 2.

Hope this helps.
