X - y + z = -7
x + y + z = 1
-------------------add
2x + 2z = -6

x + y + z = 1
x + y - z = 9....multiply by -1
-------------------
x + y + z = 1
-x - y + z = -9 (result of multiplying by -1)
------------------add
2z = -8
z = -8/2
z = -4

2x + 2z = -6
2x + 2(-4) = -6
2x - 8 = -6
2x = -6 + 8
2x = 2
x = 1

x - y + z = -7
1 - y - 4 = -7
-y -3 = -7
-y = -7 + 3
-y = -4
y = 4

so x = 1, y = 4, and z = -4

Sin theta = 24/25, cos theta > 0, Find cos(2theta)

Norma-Jean [14]

Well... you don't necessarily need to get the cosine value, in order to get the double angle

$\bf \textit{Double Angle Identities}
\\ \quad \\
sin(2\theta)=2sin(\theta)cos(\theta)
\\ \quad \\\\
cos(2\theta)=
\begin{cases}
cos^2(\theta)-sin^2(\theta)\\
\boxed{1-2sin^2(\theta)}\\
2cos^2(\theta)-1
\end{cases}
\\ \quad \\\\
tan(2\theta)=\cfrac{2tan(\theta)}{1-tan^2(\theta)}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
cos(2\theta )=1-2sin^2(\theta )\qquad \qquad sin(\theta )=\cfrac{24}{25}
\\\\\\
cos(2\theta )=1-2\left( \cfrac{24}{25} \right)^2\implies cos(2\theta )=-0.8432$
