Answer:

B. -5

Step-by-step explanation:

this is quite simple, so what you are going to want to do is multiply -3 by 4, and -16, so distribute that and you'll end up with

-12x+48= -12

then you want to subtract 48 from both side to leave the x on one side alone

that will be -12x= -60

after that you have to divide both sides by -12 to find your x

so then you will see that your x is = -5! hope this helps!!

Not sure why such an old question is showing up on my feed...

Anyway, let $x=\tan^{-1}\dfrac43$ and $y=\sin^{-1}\dfrac35$ . Then we want to find the exact value of $\cos(x-y)$ .

Use the angle difference identity:

$\cos(x-y)=\cos x\cos y+\sin x\sin y$

and right away we find $\sin y=\dfrac35$ . By the Pythagorean theorem, we also find $\cos y=\dfrac45$ . (Actually, this could potentially be negative, but let's assume all angles are in the first quadrant for convenience.)

Meanwhile, if $\tan x=\dfrac43$ , then (by Pythagorean theorem) $\sec x=\dfrac53$ , so $\cos x=\dfrac35$ . And from this, $\sin x=\dfrac45$ .

So,

$\cos\left(\tan^{-1}\dfrac43-\sin^{-1}\dfrac35\right)=\dfrac35\cdot\dfrac45+\dfrac45\cdot\dfrac35=\dfrac{24}{25}$

PLS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First, multiply the top equation by 2 and bottom by -3.
60x+60y=900
-60x-75y=-1035
————————
-15y=-135
—————-
-15=-15
y=9

So the answer should be 9.
