Answer:

There were 58 hardback books there.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of paperback books.

y is the number of hardback books.

The number of paperbacks is 12 less than three times the number of hardbacks.

This means that:

x = 3y - 12

Huong had 162 paperbacks.

This means that x = 162

How many hardback books were there?

We want to find y.

So, using the value of x, and the first equation, we have that:

x = 3y - 12

3y = x + 12

3y = 162 + 12

3y = 174

y = \frac{174}{3}

y = 58

There were 58 hardback books there.

Step-by-step explanation:

\cos(a)  + 2 \cos(a + 240)

\cos(a)  + 2 \cos(a)  \cos(240)  -  \sin(a)  \sin(240)

\cos(a)  + 2( -  \frac{ \cos(a) }{2}  +   \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}   \sin(a) )

\cos(a)  -  \cos(a)  +  \sqrt{3}  \sin(a)

\sqrt{3}  \sin(a)

If you graph the new identity, and the og identiy, they will be conciding graphs, so they are the same identity.
