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

Given that sin A = 1/3 and angle A is in the first quadrant, find cos A
scoundrel [369]
Sin A = opposite / hypotenuse 

If angle A is in the first quadrant, that means both x and y coordinate are positive.

Now you can draw triangle. Since sinA = 1/3, opposite side may be 1, so then hypotenuse side must be 3.

Now you can use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of adjacent side:

a² + b² = c²
1 + b² = 9
b² = 8
b = 2√2

So adjacent side is 2√2.

So now we can solve for cosA:

cosA = adjacent / hypotenuse = 2√2 / 3

Final answer: 2√2 / 3

Subtract. Your answer should be a polynomial in standard form. (6y^2-9y+4) -(-7y^2+5y+1)=(6y 2 −9y+4)−(−7y 2 +5y+1)=left parenth
kifflom [539]
Solution:
(6y^2-9y+4)-(-7y^2+5y+1)
Distribute to get rid of ( )
6y^2-9y+4+7y^2-5y-1
Combine like terms
13y^2-14y+3
