Answer: x = t, y = 2t/3 + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to write both x and y in terms of t
so if you rearrange 4x - 6y = -12 you get
-6y = -4x - 12
6y = 4x + 12
y = 2x/3 + 2
set x = t
and y = 2t/3 + 2
and that's it!
another one you could do is
x = t/2
y = t/3 + 2
or even
x = 3t/2
y = t + 2
i like this one the most because it looks more elegant
Answer:
- sin = -√3/2
- cos = -1/2
- tan = √3
- sec = -2
- csc = (-2/3)√3
- cot = (√3)/3
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached picture for a drawing of the angle and its terminal point coordinates. Those are (cos(4π/3), sin(4π/3)), so we have the following trig function values:
sin(4π/3) = -√3/2
cos(4π/3) = -1/2
tan(4π/3) = sin/cos = √3
sec(4π/3) = 1/cos = -2
csc(4π/3) = 1/sin = -(2√3)/3
cot(4π/3) = 1/tan = (√3)/3

<em>Additional comment</em>
It helps to know that 1/√a = (√a)/a. This lets you write the ratios with a rational denominator in each case.
If James has 12 pairs of basketball shoes, then the ratio would be 3:4 which would stop at 3:12. Then the individual ratios would be 3:4, 6:8, and 9:12
So James has 9 pairs of running shoes

Answers:
- Total equation: x+y = 80
- Legs equation: 2x+4y = 248
- How many ducks? 36
- How many cows? 44
====================================================
Further explanation:
- x = number of ducks
- y = number of cows
x+y = 80 is the total equation (ie the head count equation) since we assume each animal has 1 head, and there are 80 heads total.
That equation can be solved to y = 80-x after subtracting x from both sides.
The legs equation is 2x+4y = 248 because...
- 2x = number of legs from all the ducks only
- 4y = number of legs from all the cows only
- 2x+4y = total number of legs from both types of animals combined
We're told there are 248 legs overall, so that's how we ended up with 2x+4y = 248
------------
Let's plug y = 80-x into the second equation and solve for x.
2x+4y = 248
2x+4( y ) = 248
2x+4( 80-x ) = 248
2x+320-4x = 248
-2x+320 = 248
-2x = 248-320
-2x = -72
x = -72/(-2)
x = 36
There are 36 ducks
Now use this x value to find y
y = 80-x
y = 80-36
y = 44
There are 44 cows.
------------
Check:
36 ducks + 44 cows = 80 animals total
36*2 + 44*4 = 72 + 176 = 248 legs total
The answers are confirmed.
