Take second equation here,
2x + 9 = -12
2x = -12 - 9
2x = -21
Multiply by 2,
4x = -42
Now, substitute the vaue of 4x in 1st equation,
-42 - y = 2
-y = 2 + 42
y = -44
In short, Your Answer would be -44
Hope this helps!
We know that
applying the law of cosines
a² = b²+ c²<span> – 2*b*c*cos(A)
cos (A)=[b</span>²+c²-a²]/[2*b*c]
in this problem
a=10
b=17
c=18
so
cos (A)=[17²+18²-10²]/[2*17*18]-----> cos (A)=0.8382
A=arc cos (0.8382)-----> A=33.05°-----> A=33°
the answer is
33 degrees
Hello there!
Yes, your solution is correct! A way to check it is replacing the value you found for x into x in the equation.
3(2-x) = 7 - 4x ⇒ 3(2-1) = 7 - 4(1)
And now solve 3(2-1) = 7 - 4(1).
3(1) = 7 - 4(1)
3 = 7 - 4
3 = 3
Since it is a true statement that 3 is equal to 3, it means your solution of x = 1 is correct. Good job! :)
