Answer:

5 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If we call the larger number x and the smaller y we can write two equations.

y= x - 8 and x - 3=2y

2) we can substitute the x-8 in for the y in the second equation.

x-3=2(x-8)

3) by distributing and simplifying we find that x=13

4) To find y we need to plug x back into the first equation.

y=13-8

y=5

Please help me answer this equation

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do is try to find l by using the given information.

We can start by saying that

A=L*W

Now it's easy algebra

Divide both sides by W

L=A/W

Area and length are given .

A=((m^3-3m+2)/2m^2-7m+3)/(m^3+m-2)/(2m^3+3m-2)

Try to work it out if you can't then tell me in the comments we'll figure it out.

Y=12x<br> Do x and y vary directly ?

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Yes, they vary directly

Step-by-step explanation:

y=kx; k is the constant (12 in this case) and as x increases y increases, so they vary directly

(cot^2x - 1)/(csc^2x) = cos2x

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea here is to get the left side simplified down so it is the same as the right side. Consequently, there are 3 identities for cos(2x):

$cos(2x)=cos^2x-sin^2x$ ,

$cos(2x)=1-2sin^2x$ , and

$cos(2x)=2cos^2x-1$

We begin by rewriting the left side in terms of sin and cos, since all the identities deal with sines and cosines and no cotangents or cosecants. Rewriting gives you:

$\frac{\frac{cos^2x}{sin^2x} -\frac{sin^2x}{sin^2x} }{\frac{1}{sin^2x} }$

Notice I also wrote the 1 in terms of sin^2(x).

Now we will put the numerator of the bigger fraction over the common denominator:

$\frac{\frac{cos^2x-sin^2x}{sin^2x} }{\frac{1}{sin^2x} }$

The rule is bring up the lower fraction and flip it to multiply, so that will give us:

$\frac{cos^2x-sin^2x}{sin^2x} *\frac{sin^2x}{1}$

And canceling out the sin^2 x leaves us with just

$cos^2x-sin^2x$ which is one of our identities.
