Let h = the number of horses in the field
Let c = number of cows in the field
There are 2 more horses than cows in the field. Therefore
h = c + 2
or
c = h - 2 (1)
There are 15 animals in the field. Therefore
h + c = 15 (2)
Substitute (1) into (2).
h + (h - 2) = 15
2h - 2 = 15
Answer:
The correct equation is
2h - 2 = 15
I will get you started.
Let sin x = u
Then 7sin^2x -14sinx+2=-5 become
7u^2 - 14u = - 5
7u^2 - 14u + 5 = 0
Steps:
1. Solve for u.
2. Back- substitute for u.
3. Take the arcsin on both sides to find the angle(s).
You finish.
-24x + 8y = 72
-29x = 58
X=-2
Y=3
