Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 2

Subtract x from both sides;

y = -x + 2

3x - 4y = 27

Substitute y;

3x - 4(-x + 2) = 27

Distribute;

3x + 4x - 8 = 27

7x - 8 = 27

Add 8 to both sides;

7x = 35

Divide both sides by 7;

x = 5

Answer:

= 4 whole 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

= −36/−8

"-" signs will be cancelled out with each other so

= 36/8

By reducing to lowest term

= 9/2

When writing into mixed form:

quotient = 4, remainder = 1, divisor = 2 so:

= 4 1/2

2. Use the following picture for this question:

Art [367]

Answer:

a. $24\sqrt{3}$ and 41.6

b. 52.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the left side triangle the blue dotted side is the side "opposite" to the angle given and the side 24 is the side that is "adjacent" to the angle given. The trigonometric ratio tan relates opposite to adjacent. Also, let the blue dotted side be y.

<u>Note:</u> the exact value of tan 60 is $\sqrt{3}$

Thus, we can write $Tan(60)=\frac{y}{24}\\y=24*Tan(60)\\y=24*\sqrt{3} \\y=24\sqrt{3}$

Approximate value (rounded to nearest tenth): $24\sqrt{3} =41.6$

Considering the triangle to the right, the side "opposite" to the angle given (53 degrees) is 41.6 (just found in part (a)) and the side "hypotenuse" (side opposite to 90 degree angle) is x. The trigonometric ratio sine relates opposite and hypotenuse.

Thus we can write and solve:

$Sin(53)=\frac{41.6}{x}\\x=\frac{41.6}{Sin(53)}=52.1$
