Answer:
(x, y) = (-5, -6)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficients of y are the same, so we can eliminate y by subtracting one equation from the other. Here, we choose to subtract the first from the second, so that the coefficient of x ends up positive.
(-5x +5y) -(-6x +5y) = (-5) -(0)
x = -5 . . . . . . simplify
-6(-5) +5y = 0 . . . . . . substitute x into the first equation
6 +y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
y = -6 . . . . . . subtract 6
The solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (-5, -6).
Answer:
a = (-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly clear the bracket...,
-6(-2 + a) = 12 - 6a
Then substitute the simplified version in place of bracket...,
; 12 - 6a = 54
; -6a = 54 - 12
; -6a = 42...then divide both sides by (-6)
Therefore...., a = (-7)
The law of cosines states that:
c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcosC
You already have all the values for the variables with the exception of x so:
x^2=25+100-100cos60
x=√(125-100cos60)
x=√75
x≈8.66 to nearest one-hundredth...
