-2x – 9y = 11 x – 3y = 17

1 answer:

6 0

-2x-9y=11x-3y
-2x+2x-9y=11x+2x-3y
-9y=13x-3y
-9y+3y=13x-3y+3y
-6y=13x
y=-13x/6

Plug -13x/6 in for y and solve for x using one of the equations
11x-3(-13x/6)=17
11x+13x/2=17
35x/2=17
35x=34
x=34/35

Plug 34/35 in for x to solve for y now
y=(-13(34/35))/6
y=-221/105

x=34/35 y=-221/105
Now when you plug in those numbers for x and y you get 17 for both equations.

Hope I didn't mess up for your sake.

If cos θ = .62 and if 0<θ<90 what is the approximate value of sin θ to the nearest hundredth

Deffense [45]

$\cos\Theta=0.62\\\\\text{Use:}\ \sin^2\alpha+\cos^2\alpha=1\\\\\sin^2\Theta+(0.62)^2=1\\\\\sin^2\Theta+0.3844=1\ \ \ |-0.3844\\\\\sin^2\Theta=0.6156\to\sin\Theta=\pm\sqrt{0.6156}\\\\\sin\Theta_1\approx-0.78\ \vee\ \sin\Theta\approx0.78\\\\\Theta\in(0^o;\ 90^o),\ therefore\ \sin\Theta \ \textgreater \ 0\to\boxed{\sin\Theta\approx0.78}$

What is x? -2.5x- 2=18

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

-2.5x - 2 = 18.

Add 2 to both sides.

-2.5x = 20.

Divide both sides by -2.5.
