Jennifer went on a shopping spree, spending a total of $165 on a skirt, a sweater, and a pair of shoes. The cost of the sweater

was 8/7 of the cost of the skirt. The shoes cost $11 more than the skirt. Find the cost of each item.

X=skirt
y=sweater
z=shoes

x+y+z=165
y=8/7x
z=x+11
plug it in
x+(8/7x)+(x+11)=165
2x+8/7x=154
22/7x=154
x=49
y=56
z=60
a skirt cost $49, a sweater cost $56, and a pair of shoes cost $60

7x-3y=-12. Name 2 possible answers for (x,y)
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

x = (-12/7 , 0)

y= (0,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug y=0 into the equation and solve the resulting equation 7x=−12 for x

7x = -12

/7      /7

x = -12/7     and y =0

Plug x=0 into the equation and solve the resulting equation −3y=−12 for y

-3y = -12

/-3     -3

Y = 4        and X = 0

If a and b are two angles in standard position in Quadrant I, find cos(a-b) for the given function values. sin a=3/5and cos b=12
goldfiish [28.3K]

The identity in question is

cos(a - b) = cos(a) cos(b) + sin(a) sin(b)

so that

cos(a - b) = 12/37 cos(a) + 3/5 sin(b)

Since both a and b lie in the first quadrant, both cos(a) and sin(b) will be positive. Then it follows from the Pythagorean identity,

cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1,

that

cos(a) = √(1 - sin²(a)) = 4/5

and

sin(b) = √(1 - cos²(b)) = 35/37

So,

cos(a - b) = 12/37 • 4/5 + 3/5 • 35/37 = 153/185
