Answer:

x = -6

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 3

x + y = 3

twice the larger number is 36 more than three times the smaller number

2y = 3x + 36

Divide both sides by 2

y = 1.5x + 18

substitute for y in the first equation

x + (1.5x + 18) = 3

2.5x = -15

divide both sides by 2.5

x = -6

Substitute for x in the first equation

-6 + y = 3

y = 9

Is −4[3(x−7)] and 6(14−2x) equiviant

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the equations equal to each other to determine their equality.

-4[3(x - 7)] = 6(14 - 2x)

Distribute the 3 and the 6 into their respective parenthesis.

-4[3x - 21] = 84 - 12x

Distribute the -4 into the brackets.

-12x + 84

Rearrange the equations.

84 - 12x = 84 - 12x

Since the equations come out to be the same thing on both sides so that any value satisfies it, the equations are equivalent.

Answer: see proof below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given: cos 330 = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$

Use the Double-Angle Identity: cos 2A = 2 cos² A - 1

$\text{Scratchwork:}\quad \bigg(\dfrac{\sqrt3 + 2}{2\sqrt2}\bigg)^2 = \dfrac{2\sqrt3 + 4}{8}$

Proof LHS → RHS:

LHS cos 165

Double-Angle: cos (2 · 165) = 2 cos² 165 - 1

⇒ cos 330 = 2 cos² 165 - 1

⇒ 2 cos² 165 = cos 330 + 1

Given: $2 \cos^2 165 = \dfrac{\sqrt3}{2} + 1$

$\rightarrow 2 \cos^2 165 = \dfrac{\sqrt3}{2} + \dfrac{2}{2}$

Divide by 2: $\cos^2 165 = \dfrac{\sqrt3+2}{4}$

$\rightarrow \cos^2 165 = \bigg(\dfrac{2}{2}\bigg)\dfrac{\sqrt3+2}{4}$

$\rightarrow \cos^2 165 = \dfrac{2\sqrt3+4}{8}$

Square root: $\sqrt{\cos^2 165} = \sqrt{\dfrac{4+2\sqrt3}{8}}$

Scratchwork: $\cos^2 165 = \bigg(\dfrac{\sqrt3+1}{2\sqrt2}\bigg)^2$

$\rightarrow \cos 165 = \pm \dfrac{\sqrt3+1}{2\sqrt2}$

Since cos 165 is in the 2nd Quadrant, the sign is NEGATIVE

$\rightarrow \cos 165 = - \dfrac{\sqrt3+1}{2\sqrt2}$

LHS = RHS $\checkmark$
