Answer:

x = 4

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

If a triangle is equilateral all three sides are equal. So each side has equal statements.

Solution

3x + 2 = 5x - 2y            Subtract 3x from both sides

2 = 5x -3x - 2y              Combine

2 = 2x - 2y                     divide by 2

x - y = 1                          Equation 1

3x + 2 = 6y - 4            Equilateral triangles have equal sides. Subtract 6y

3x - 6y + 2=  - 4          Subtract 2

3x - 6y = -4 - 2

3x - 6y = - 6                Divide by 3

x - 2y = - 2                  Equation 2.

Now subtract equation 1 from equation 2

x - 2y = - 2

x -  y    =  1                    Subtract

  - y    = - 3                   Multiply by -2

    y = 3

Put y = 3 into equation 1

x - y = 1

x - 3 = 1                         Add 3 to both sides.

x = 4

Answer

x = 4

y = 3

Answer:

There is a whole range of speeds at which you are allowed to drive, not just one. In cases like this where there is more than one correct answer, we use inequalities, not equations, to represent the situation.

Inequalities are mathematical statements that define a range of values. They are easily recognizable because they contain the symbols <, ≤,>, or ≥.

Write the trigonometric expression in terms of sine and cosine, and then simplify.
katrin2010 [14]
Hello,

tan t /(sec t -cos t)= sin t/(cos t *(1/cos t -cos t))
=sin t/(cos t*(1-cos ²t)/cos t))
=sin t/sin² t=1/sin t [or=cosec t.]
