22.5/(x-6) + 22.5/(x+6) = 9
multiply by x-6
=> (x-6)22.5/(x-6) + (x-6)22.5/(x+6) = 9(x-6)
=> 22.5 + (x-6)22.5/(x+6) = 9(x-6)
multiply by x+6
=> (x+6)22.5 + (x+6)(x-6)22.5/(x+6) = 9(x-6)(x+6)
=> (x+6)22.5 + (x-6)22.5 = 9(x-6)(x+6)
distribute
=> 22.5x+6(22.5) + 22.5x - 6(22.5) = 9(x^2 - 36)
=> 45x = 9x^2 - 9(36)
=> 0 = 9x^2 - 45x - 9(36)
divide by 9
=> 0 = x^2 - 5x - 36
=> 0 = x^2 - 5x - 36
=> 0 = (x - 9)(x + 4)
x=9 and -4

Find the value of x and y Please help me. Thank you

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let each angle=A

A+A+A=180

3A=180

A=180/3=60°

as the angles are equal so sides are equal.

16+y=46

y=46-16=30

applying sine formula

$\frac{30}{sin z} =\frac{46}{sin~80} \\sin~z=\frac{30}{46} \times ~sin~80=\frac{15}{23} \times sin ~80\\z=sin^{-1}( \frac{15}{23} \times sin ~80) \approx~39.96^\circ \approx40^\circ$

z+x=60

40+x=60

x=60-40=20°
