Answer:

x=17/2 y=1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

-1(x+3y=9)

1(x-3y=8)

_________

-x-3y=-9

x-3y=8

________

-6y/6=-1/6 y=1/6

x+3(1/6)=9

x+ 1/2=9

- 1/2 - 1/2

x=17/2

For an angle 0 with the point (-20,-21) on its terminating side, what is the value of cosine ?

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

check the picture below.

$\bf (\stackrel{a}{-20},\stackrel{b}{-21})\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{hypotenuse}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2} \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=\stackrel{adjacent}{-20}\\ b=\stackrel{opposite}{-21}\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ c=\sqrt{(-20)^2+(-21)^2}\implies c=\sqrt{841}\implies c=29 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-20}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{29}}~\hfill$

|5x|-2=18 helps love this problem please help

drek231 [11]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of 5x is still 5x.

5x - 2 = 18

Add 2 to both sides

5x = 20

Divide both sides by 5

x = 4

kerry is comparing the number 9.207 and 9.210. what is the least place value she needs to compare to decide which number is grea

andrew11 [14]

The number 9.210 is greater. The least place value is the 0 (Zero) and the 1 (One). This is because the 9 (Nine) and the 2 (Two) in 9.207 and 9.210 is the same numbers. There so, you can't compare those 2 (Two) numbers.
