<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>
  • Given the system of equations.

\begin{cases} 6x - 2y = 10 \\ x - 2y =  - 5 \end{cases}

  • Solve the system of equations by eliminating either x-term or y-term. We will eliminate the y-term as it is faster to solve the equation.

To eliminate the y-term, we have to multiply the negative in either the first or second equation so we can get rid of the y-term. I will multiply negative in the second equation.

\begin{cases} 6x - 2y = 10 \\  - x  +  2y =  5 \end{cases}

There as we can get rid of the y-term by adding both equations.

(6x - x) + ( - 2y + 2y) = 10 + 5 \\ 5x + 0 = 15 \\ 5x = 15 \\ x =  \frac{15}{5}  \longrightarrow  \frac{ \cancel{15}}{ \cancel{5}}  =  \frac{3}{1}  \\ x = 3

Hence, the value of x is 3. But we are not finished yet because we need to find the value of y as well. Therefore, we substitute the value of x in any given equations. I will substitute the value of x in the second equation.

x - 2y =  - 5 \\ 3 - 2y =  - 5 \\ 3 + 5 = 2y \\ 8 = 2y \\  \frac{8}{2}  = y \\ y =  \frac{8}{2} \longrightarrow  \frac{ \cancel{8}}{ \cancel{2}}  =  \frac{4}{1}  \\ y = 4

Hence, the value of y is 4. Therefore, we can say that when x = 3, y = 4.

  • Answer Check by substituting both x and y values in both equations.

<u>First</u><u> </u><u>Equation</u>

6x - 2y = 10 \\ 6(3) - 2(4) = 10 \\ 18 - 8 = 10 \\ 10  = 10 \longrightarrow \sf{true} \:  \green{ \checkmark}

<u>Second</u><u> </u><u>Equation</u>

x - 2y =  - 5 \\ 3 - 2(4) =  - 5 \\ 3 - 8 =  - 5 \\  - 5 =  - 5 \longrightarrow  \sf{true} \:  \green{ \checkmark}

Hence, both equations are true for x = 3 and y = 4. Therefore, the solution is (3,4)

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

\begin{cases} x = 3 \\ y = 4 \end{cases} \\  \sf \underline{Coordinate \:  \: Form} \\ (3,4)

2. Solve the following equations for 0° Sx &lt; 180°.
diamong [38]

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) cosec ( x + 10) = 3

Now cosec x = 1/sin x so

1 / sin (x + 10) = 3

3 sin (x + 10) = 1

sin (x + 10) = 1/3

x + 10 = 19.47 , 160.53 degrees

x = 9.47, 150.53 degrees.

(ii) cot (x - 30) =0.45

cot (x - 30)= 1 /tan (x- 30) so we have

tan (x - 30) = 1 / 0.45 = 2.2222

x - 30 = 65.77 degrees

x = 95.77 degrees.
