Do you mean xy instead of sy if so i’m pretty sure you would just multiply both of the numbers
Start off by distributing the numbers into the parentheses:
5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-15x - 10 - (x - 3) = -16x - 20 + 13
(Note: It's super important to be careful when opening up negative parentheses! -(x-3) is not just - x - 3, it is actually -x + 3 since the negative is distributed in every number!)
-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13
-16x - 7 = -16x - 7
-16x = -16x
0 = 0
There is an infinite number of solutions in this equation.
(When you get 0=0 when solving for a variable, that means that said variable will have infinite solutions, that is, any number plugged into the equation will work)
Answer: -1
Step-by-step explanation:
First change tan(315) to:

Then evaluate the sine and cosine function. What is the y component of 315 degrees? What is the x component of 315 degrees?

Answer:
x = 7 is the answer for the smaller number
7 + 1 = 8 is the answer for the larger number
Step-by-step explanation:
LET x and x+1 be the two numbers here, as your hint suggests.
5x + 3(x+1) = 59
5x + 3x+3 = 59
8x = 59-3
8x = 56
/8 /8
--------------------------
x = 56/8 ---> x = 7
x = 7 is the answer for the smaller number
7 + 1 = 8 is the answer for the larger number
Check:
5 * 7 + 3 * 8 = 59
35 + 24 = 59
59 = 59 CORRECT
