Answer:
Arlene had 175 and Celine had 225
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given: cos x =
, x is in Quadrant 4
Use Pythagorean Theorem to find sin x:
8² + y² = 17²
y² = 17² - 8²
y² = 289 - 64
y² = 225
y = 15
→ sin x = 
Use the double angle formula to find cos (2x):

Remember yo can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
so
remember distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac
so first distribute
2(3x)+2(-9)=18x
6x-18=18x
minus 6x both sides
-18=12x
divide both sides by 12
-18/12=x
-9/6=x
-3/2=x
easier way is to first divide both sides by 2
x=-3/2
When you collect terms, for
the first one you get
-x² -3xy +4 = -x² -3xy +4 . . . . . . equivalent equations.
