Answer:

C. j + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2j + 3) - 3j

multiply each term in the parentheses by 2

2 x 2j + 2 x 3

calculate the product

4j + 6 -3j

collect like terms by subtracting their coefficients

(4 - 3)j

then subtract the numbers

when the term has a coefficient of 1, it doesn't have to be written

then plug in the other number and that's your answer

j + 6

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{LHS}=\frac{1}{\sec \theta-\tan \theta}\\=\frac{\sec \theta+\tan \theta}{(\sec \theta-\tan \theta)(\sec \theta+\tan \theta)}\\=\frac{\sec \theta+\tan \theta}{\sec^{2} \theta-\tan^{2} \theta}\\=\frac{\sec \theta+\tan \theta}{1}\\=\sec \theta+\tan \theta\\=\text{RHS}$
