We do like the following:
Set the first number is a and the second is b.
We have two equations: a+2xb=24, 2xa+b=21
And we have 2xa+4xb=48 or 2xa=48-4xb
So: 48-4xb+b=21 or -3xb=21-48=-27 and we got b=-27:(-3)=9 and a= 6
a=6 and b=9

Cos²x + sin^2x/cscx-cot^2x
Anna [14]

Answer:

1.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming you want to simplify this.

cos^2 x + sin^2 x = 1 and

csc^2 x = 1 + cot^2 x   so  csc^2x - cot^2 x = 1

So the answer is 1/1 = 1.
