Step-by-step explanation:

- 2x-2y=-6

3x+4y=8

multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 2

- 6x-6y=18

6x+8y=16

Add

2y=34

y= 34÷2

y=17

substitute 17 for y in equation (2)

3x+4y=8

3x+4(17)=8

3x+68=8

3x=8-68

3x=-60

x=-60÷3

x=-20

x=-20,y=17

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(4)

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sinΘ = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{7}{9}$ , thus

Θ = $sin^{-1}$ ( $\frac{7}{9}$ ) ≈ 51.1°

(5)

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tanΘ = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{4}{5}$ , thus

Θ = $tan^{-1}$ ( $\frac{4}{5}$ ) ≈ 38.7°
