Answer:

The solution is x = -2 and y = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

14y - 8x = 44      Eqn 1

-7y = -x - 16       Eqn 2

In elimination method, you try to eliminate one variable in the equation by adding or subtracting.

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 2

2(-7y = -x - 16)

-14y=-2x-32

-14y+2x= -32    Eqn 3

Adding Eqn 1 and 3

(14y-8x)+(-14y+2x)=44+(-32)

14y-8x-14y+2x=44-32

-6x=12

Dividing both sides by -6

\frac{-6x}{-6}=\frac{12}{-6}\\x=-2

Putting x=-2 in Eqn 2

-7y=-(-2)-16

-7y=2-16

-7y=-14

Dividing both sides by -7

\frac{-7y}{-7}=\frac{-14}{-7}\\y=2

Hence,

The solution is x = -2 and y = 2.

Prove this <br><br> 1-tan^2x/1+tan^2x=cos^2x-sin^2x
tatiyna

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the identity

tan x = \frac{sinx}{cosx}

Consider the left side

\frac{1-tan^2x}{1+tan^2x}

= \frac{1-\frac{sin^2x}{cos^2x} }{1+\frac{sin^2x}{cos^2x} } ( multiply numerator and denominator by cos²x to clear fractions

= \frac{cos^2x-sin^2x}{cos^2x+sin^2x} ← ( cos²x + sin²x = 1 ]

= cos²x - sin²x

= right side , thus proven
