Answer:

4, 22  See below

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = 30

5x + y = 42

Subtract the first from the second

3x = 12

x = 4 so socks cost $4

Put that into one of the original equations

2x + y = 30

2(4) + y = 30

8 + y = 30

y = 22 slippers cost $22

Answer:

y=22

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the second statement as equation 1 and the first statement as equation 2 and subtract to eliminate y:

5x + y = 42

-(2x + y = 30)

--------------------

3x   + 0 = 12      --> x = 4

substituting x = 4 into 2x + y = 30  --> 8 + y = 30   --> y = 22

(x,y) = (4,22)

checking by adding the two equations substituting in (4,22)

20 + 22 = 42

8 + 22  = 30

---------------------

28 + 44 = 72

   72 = 72       √

What is 2x(y+5)=2.5y<br> What is 2x(y+5)=2.5y
White raven [17]

Answer:

simplify: 2.5 =(y+5)

reorder the terms: 2.5y=(5+y)

remove the parenthesis: 2.5y=5+y

solving: 2.5y=5+y

move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

add -1y to each side of the equation

2.5y+-1y=5+y+-1y

combine like terms 2.5y+-1y=1.5y

1.5y=5+y+-1y

combine like terms: y+-1y=0

1.5y=5+0

1.5y=5

divide each side by 1.5

y=3.333333333

simplifying

y=3.333333333

What is the value of sin 0 given that (3-4) is a point on the terminal side of 0
Effectus [21]

Using trigonometric relations, we will see that:

sin(θ ) = -0.8

<h3>How to get the sine of the angle?</h3>

For any point (x, y), the angle between the positive x-axis and the ray that connects the origin with the point (x, y) is:

θ = Atan(y/x)

In this case, the point is (3, -4), then the angle is:

θ = Atan(-4/3) = -53.13°

Then the sine of theta is:

sin(θ  = -53.13°) = -0.8
