It’s easier than you think, just don’t overthink it. You’re fine.
I think I’m right, but here;
5/6 + 2-2/3 = 3 1/2
Then you subtract how much the person used,
2-2/3 - 1-1/3 = 1 - 1/3 or 1.3333333 (repeated)

I think. It came out as a repeated decimal, but I just put it in fraction form.

I hope this helped :]

Answer:

(2, - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

5x + 3y = 1 → (1)

7x + 3y = 5 → (2)

multiply all terms in (1) by - 1

- 5x - 3y = - 1 → (3)

add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate the term in y

(7x - 5x) + (3y - 3y) = (5 - 1)

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 in either (1) or (2) for corresponding value of y

(2) : 14 + 3y = 5 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

3y = - 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = - 3

solution is (2, - 3)

1+sin(a)/1+csc(a)=tan(a)/sec(a)
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

( 1 + sin a) / (1 + csc a)

= (1 + sin a ) /( 1 + 1/ sin a)

= ( 1 + sin a) /  (sin  a + 1)/  (sin a)

=  (sin a(1 + sin a)) / (1 + sin a)

= sin a.

tan a / sec a

= (sin a / cos a) / (1  /cos a)

= (sin a cos a) / cos a

= sin a

The two expressions are both equal to sin a:

Therefore

(1 + sin a) /( 1 + csc a)  =  tan a / sec a.
