Answer:
y = 2(6 - x)/ 3
*ps. I attached an image of what it should look like when you write it

Explanation:
Step 1 - Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation

2x + 3y = 12
2x - 2x + 3y = 12 - 2x
3y = 12 - 2x

Step 2 - Divide both sides of the equation by 3

3y = 12 - 2x
3y/ 3 = 12 - 2x/ 3
y = 12 - 2x/ 3

Step 3 - Factor

y = 12 - 2x/ 3
y = 2(6 - x)/ 3

Verify the identity: tan(x+pi/2)=-cotx please!!

olya-2409 [2.1K]

First we use sin(a+b)= sinacosb+sinbcosa
and cos(a+b)=cosa cosb -sinasinb

tan(x+pi/2)= sin(x+pi/2) / cos(x+pi/2)
and sin(x+pi/2) = sinxcospi/2 + sinpi/2cosx =cosx,
cos(x+pi/2) = cosxcospi/2- sinxsinpi/2= - sinx,
 because cospi/2 =0, and sinpi/2=1

=tan(x+pi/2)= sin(x+pi/2) / cos(x+pi/2)= cosx / -sinx = -1/tanx = -cotx
from where tan(x+pi/2)=-cotx
