Answer:

56/65

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that cos(a-b) = cos(a)cos(b) + sin(a)sin(b)

We know what sin(a) and sin(b) are, and to get cos(a), we can take the equation sin²a + cos²a = 1

Thus,

(12/13)² + cos²a = 1

1 - (12/13)² = cos²a

1- 144/169 = cos²a

cos²a = 25/169

cos(a) = 5/13

Similarly,

(3/5)² + cos²b = 1

1 - (3/5)² = cos²b

1 - 9/25 = cos²b

cos²b = 16/25

cos(b) = 4/5

Our answer is

cos(a-b) = cos(a)cos(b) + sin(a)sin(b)

cos(a-b)  = (5/13)(4/5) + (12/13)(3/5)

cos(a-b)  = 20/65 + 36/65

cos(a-b)  = 56/65

One number is five more than three times another. If their difference is 35, what is the larger number?
miv72 [106K]
Let x and y be the two unknown numbers. If one number, say x,is 5 more than 3 times another, say y, the equation would be

x = 5 + 3y

When their difference is 35, x-y = 35, since x is the much larger number here. We substitute x to solve for the smaller number, y.

x - y = 35
(5 + 3y) -y = 35
5 +2y = 35
2y = 35-5
2y = 30
y = 15

The larger number x would be
x = 5 + 3(15)
x = 50

The answer is 50.
