Answer:

x=28     x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=42

2y=x

My method of doing this is a little unorthodox so this is probably going to make no sense... but here goes...

42/2=21

21*(2/3)=14

14*2=28

Write two equations with the given information:

1) x = 2y ( x is twice the value of y)

2) x + y = 42

Replace x in the second equation with the value of x in the first equation:

2y + y = 42

Simplify:

3y = 42

Divide both sides by 3:

y = 42 / 3

y = 14

Now we have the value for Y, solve for x by replacing y with 14:

x = 2y

x = 2(14)

x = 28

X = 28 and y = 14

Question 16 (Essay Worth 7 points)<br><br> Verify the identity.<br><br> tan (x + π/2) = -cot x
Rus_ich [418]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that tan=sin/cos, so tan(x+π/2)=

\frac{sin(x+pi/2)}{cos(x+pi/2)}

Then, we know that sin(u+v)=sin(u)cos(v)+cos(u)sin(v),

so our equation is then

\frac{sin(x)cos(\pi/2)+cos(x)sin(\pi/2)}{cos(x+\pi/2)}  = \frac{cos(x)}{cos(x+\pi/2) }

Then, cos(u+v)=cos(u)cos(v)-sin(u)sin(v), so our expression is then

\frac{cos(x)}{cos(x)cos(\pi/2)-sin(x)sin(\pi/2)} = \frac{cos(x)}{-sin(x)} = -cot(x)

Marcia biked 600 meters on friday. On saturday, she biked 3 kilometers. One sunday she biked 2 kilometers and 700 meters. How ma
zepelin [54]

Answer:

6.3 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for kilometers, so all amounts have to be calculated in the same units -- kilometers.

Convert meters to kilometers.

600 m = .6 km

700 m = .7 km.

Add the amounts:

Fri.:       .6 km

Sat.     3 km

Sun.:   2.7 km.

--------------------------------

6.3 km.

Solve the system by elimination <br> 2x+6y= -12 <br> 5x-5y= -10
kvv77 [185]
First thing you should do is reduce coefficients.

1st equation has all multiples of '2'. Divide by 2
---> x +3y = -6

2nd equation has multiples of 5. Divide by 5.
---> x - y = 2

Now elimination part is easier. 
Eliminate 'x' variable by subtracting 2nd equation from 1st.

   x + 3y = -6
-(x  - y = 2)
----------------------
       4y  = -8

Solve for 'y'
4y = -8

y = (-8)/4 = -2


Substitute value for 'y' back into 2nd equation:
x - (-2) = 2
x + 2 = 2
x = 0

Solution to system is:
x=0, y =-2
