Answer:

9 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let maggie's age be m,

and let maggie's brother's age be b

b = 2m - 5,

m + b = 22

Substitute "2m - 5" for b in the second equation (substitution)

m + (2m - 5) = 22 -> Remove parenthesis

m + 2m - 5 = 22 -> Combine like terms

3m = 22 + 5 = 27 -> Divide either side by 3

m = 27/3 = 9

Solution: Maggie is 9 years old

Prove this trigonometric equation;<br><br> - tan^2x + sec^2x = 1,
alekssr [168]
Hey there :)

- tan²x + sec²x = 1    or    1 + tan²x = sec²x

sin²x + cos²x = 1 
Divide the whole by cos²x

\frac{sin^2x}{cos^2x} + \frac{cos^2x}{cos^2x} = \frac{1}{cos^2x}

\frac{sinx}{cosx} = tanx so \frac{sin^2x}{cos^2x} = tan^2x
and
\frac{1}{cosx} = secx so \frac{1}{cos^2x} = sec^2x

Therefore,
tan²x + 1 = sec²x
Take tan²x to the other side {You will have the same answer}

1 = - tan²x = sec²x or sec²x - tanx = 1

How in the heck do I do this?​
Fudgin [204]

The measure of a triangle is 180 degrees. In other words the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees

To solve for x set all of the expressions of angles equal to 180 and isolate x

11x - 3 + 7x + 5 + 13x - 8 = 180

31x + (- 6 + 6) = 180 + 6

31x/31  = 186 / 31

x = 6

To find the measure of each angle plug 6 into the x into each individual expression

Hope this helped!
