6j+

n=134

you multiply this by 18
6j+18n=558
6j+1/3*n=134
___________(-)
53n/3=424 => 53n=1272 => n=24
You put n in the first equation:
6j+8=134
6j=126 => j=21
Final answer: Nathan has 24 books and Jason 21.
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the cotangent to cosine over sine:

Use the cofunction identities. The cofunction identities are:

To convert this, factor out a negative one from the cosine and sine.

Recall that since cosine is an even function, we can remove the negative. Since sine is an odd function, we can move the negative outside:

Haven’t done this in a while but the first is rational, second is irrational, third is rational, fourth is irrational, fifth is rational, sixth is rational, seventh is irrational
We are given ratio nickel to zinc to copper = 2:7:9.
From this ratio we can see that <em>ratio of nickel to zinc is 2:7</em>.
Let us assume number of pounds of nickel have to be used to create alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc is x pounds.
So, we can setup a proportion as :
x : 4.9 = 2:7
Or

On cross multiplication, we get
7x= 4.9× 2
7x = 9.8
Dividing both sides by 7, we get
x = 1.4.
<h3>Therefore, 1.4 pounds of nickel have to be used to create alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc.</h3><h3 />
