Answer:

x = 11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x - 12y = -8  

5x + 2y = 48

you can combine all like terms from both equations together:

0x-10y=40

simplified:

-10y=40

y=-4

now you plug in the value of y into either equation:

5x+2(-4)=48

simplify

5x-8=48

add 8

5x=56

divide by 5

x=56/5=11.2

Which sum or difference identity would you use to verify that cos (180° - q) = -cos q?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given : \cos (180^{\circ}-q)=-\cos q

We have to write which identity we will use to prove the given statement.

Consider \cos (180^{\circ}-q)=-\cos q

Take left hand side of given expression \cos (180^{\circ}-q)

We know

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

Comparing , we get, a= 180° and b = q

Substitute , we get,

\cos (180^{\circ}-q)=\cos 180^{\circ}  \cos (q)+\sin q \sin 180^{\circ}

Also, we know \sin 180^{\circ}=0 and \cos 180^{\circ}=-1

Substitute, we get,

\cos (180^{\circ}-q)=-1\cdot \cos (q)+\sin q \cdot 0

Simplify , we get,

\cos (180^{\circ}-q)=-\cos (q)

Hence, use difference identity to  prove the given result.

tomika plans to run 84 miles in 4 weeks. If she continues the pattern, how many miles will she run in 1yr.
drek231 [11]
She run in 28 days = 84 miles
So, 1 day, it will be = 84 / 28 = 3 miles

Now, in 1 year it would be = 365 * 3 = 1095

So, your final answer is 1095 miles

Hope this helps!
