Step-by-step explanation:

the numbers : x, y

x + y = 8

x = y - 4

we use the second equation in the first :

y - 4 + y = 8

2y - 4 = 8

2y = 12

y = 6

x = y - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2

Answer: The answer is 6 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

X is first number, Y is second

Y = x - 4

Y = 6 - 4

Y = 2

x = 6

Y = 2

How do i prove 2sec^2x-2sec^2xsin^2-sin^2x-cos^2x=1

kramer

$2\sec^2x-2\sec^2x\sin^2x-\sin^2x-\cos^2x=2\sec^2x(1-\sin^2x)-(\sin^2x+\cos^2x)$

Since $\sin^2x+\cos^2x=1$ , you have

$2\sec^2x(1-\sin^2x)-(\sin^2x+\cos^2x)=2\sec^2x\cos^2x-1$

and since $\sec x=\dfrac1{\cos x}$ , you end up with $2-1=1$ .

Question Help

Oxana [17]

X + y = 23000

x.08 + y.09 = 2040

x = 23000 - y

(23000 - y) .08 + y.09 = 2040

1840 - .08y + .09y = 2040

Simplify

.01y = 200

Simplify

Y = 20000

X + 20000 = 23000

X = 3000

CHECK: .08x + .09(20000) = 2040

.08x + 1800 = 2040

Simply .08x = 240

X = 3000
