Answer:

Elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of equations is 2 or more equations for which the same x,y solution exists. We can solve the system in three ways: elimination, substitution, or graphing. Elimination is the best method when we have standard form equations and x values with opposite coefficients. This is so because the x variable will eliminate easily and allow us to solve for y.

in 2014, a state park recreational pass cost $8.50. starting in 2015, the parks and recreation department will increase this cos
yulyashka [42]

The equation for the cost after 2014 will be : Cost(x) = 8.50 + 0.8n

The cost of pass on 2014 = $8.50

Increase in cost per year = $0.80

The equation which represents the yearly cost starting from 2015 will be :

Cost in 2014 + (yearly increas × number of years after 2014)

Let the Number of years after 2014 = n

The equation thus becomes :

Cost(x) = 8.50 + 0.8n

Solve for the variable when the hypotinuse is 10 and you know one angle, 42
Serga [27]

Answer: The other sides are 6.7 units and 7.4 units

Step-by-step explanation: Every right angled triangle can be solved by use of the trigonometric ratios. We can use the sine, cosine or tangent depending on which sides are given. If one angle has been given as 42 degrees, then the side opposite that angle can be calculated as,

Sin 42 = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 42 = a/10

We cross multiply and we now have

Sin42 x 10 = a

0.6691 x 10 = a

a = 6.69 (which is approximately 6.7)

If one of the other two angles was given as 42, then the third angle would be calculated as 180 - (90 + 42) {sum of angles in a triangle equals 180} and that equals 48.

To calculate the third side,

Sin48 = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin48 = y/10

We cross multiply and we have

Sin48 x 10 = y

0.7431 x 10 = y

y = 7.43 (which is approximately 7.4)

Therefore the two other sides are 6.7 and 7.4
