Take away 134 from the total, so that both numbers are of equal value:

436 - 134 = 302

Divide by 2 to find the smaller number:

302 ÷ 2 = 151

Add back the 134 to find the bigger number:

151 + 134 = 285

Answer: The two numbers are 151 and 285

Lets say x is the smaller number and y is the bigger number.

x + y = 436

x + 134 = y

We can substitute the second equation into the first (substitute x + 134 in for y)

x + (x+134) = 436

2x + 134 = 436

2x = 302

x = 151

We can now plug this back into either formula (i use the second)

151 + 134 = b

b = 285

The 2 numbers are 151 and 285

General solutions of sin(x-90)+cos(x+270)=-1<br> {both 90 and 270 are in degrees}

mixer [17]

Answer:

$\left[\begin{array}{l}x=2\pi k,\ \ k\in Z\\ \\x=-\dfrac{\pi }{2}+2\pi k,\ k\in Z\end{array}\right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\sin (x-90^{\circ})+\cos(x+270^{\circ})=-1$

First, note that

$\sin (x-90^{\circ})=-\cos x\\ \\\cos(x+270^{\circ})=\sin x$

So, the equation is

$-\cos x+\sin x= -1$

Multiply this equation by $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}:$

$-\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\cos x+\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\sin x= -\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\\ \\\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\cos x-\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\sin x=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\\ \\\cos 45^{\circ}\cos x-\sin 45^{\circ}\sin x=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\\ \\\cos (x+45^{\circ})=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

The general solution is

$x+45^{\circ}=\pm \arccos \left(\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)+2\pi k,\ \ k\in Z\\ \\x+\dfrac{\pi }{4}=\pm \dfrac{\pi }{4}+2\pi k,\ \ k\in Z\\ \\x=-\dfrac{\pi }{4}\pm \dfrac{\pi }{4}+2\pi k,\ \ k\in Z\\ \\\left[\begin{array}{l}x=2\pi k,\ \ k\in Z\\ \\x=-\dfrac{\pi }{2}+2\pi k,\ k\in Z\end{array}\right.$

Jimmy's 9th-grade class is made up of 223 students. He wants to know the average height for the students in his class, and he wa

I believe that the smallest number of students Jimmy can measure is 223, and I know this is right because one of my teachers had us do this probem and she said this was it.
