Answer:

y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two numbers,  

x

,

y

. We know two things about them:

2

x

+

y

=

25

3

x

−

y

=

20

Let's add these two equations together which will cancel the  

y

:

5

x

+

0

y

=

45

x

=

45

5

=

9

We can now substitute in the  

x

value into one of the original equations (I'll do both) to get to  

y

:

2

x

+

y

=

25

2

(

9

)

+

y

=

25

18

+

y

=

25

y

=

7

3

x

−

y

=

20

3

(

9

)

−

y

=

20

27

−

y

=

20

Which is greater, 4.87 x 10^9 or 9.212 x 10^8? <br> please helpp
STatiana [176]

Answer: 4.87 x 10^9  is greater than 9.212 *10^8

Step-by-step explanation:

4.87 x 10^9  is greater than 9.212 *10^8 because it has the greater exponent.

4.87 * 10^9 =  4,870,000,000

9.212 *10^8= 921,200,000

4,870,000,000 > 921,200,000

PLEASE can someone explain why The exact value of sec ( π/6) is 2 /√ 3 ??
Umnica [9.8K]
\bf sec\left( \frac{\pi }{6} \right)\qquad recall\to sec(\theta)=\cfrac{1}{cos(\theta)}\qquad thus&#10;\\\\&#10;sec\left( \frac{\pi }{6}\right)\iff \cfrac{1}{cos\left( \frac{\pi }{6}\right)}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{check your Unit Circle for what the }cos\left( \frac{\pi }{6}\right)\ is&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{1}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\implies &#10;\cfrac{1}{1}\cdot \cfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\implies \cfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}
