Solve: 4/3 s+4 ≥ 12

%284%2F3%29s%2B4%3E=12 
%284%2F3%29s%3E=8
s%3E=8%2A3%2F4
s%3E=6

Solve: 15-5t ≥ 55

15-5t%3E=55
after dividing every term by 5 yields
3-t%3E=11 
-t%3E=8 

t%3C=-8

simplify: cot(arcsin(-2/3))

for convenience, we write 
theta=arcsin%28-2%2F3%29 
sin%28theta%29=-2%2F3 
so that means... 
y=-2, r=3, x=sqrt%285%29 
cot%28theta%29=x%2Fy=-sqrt%285%29%2F2

Use the method of substitution to solve the system of linear equations. 2x-y=5, 5x-2y=13

1) 2x-y=5
2) 5x-2y=13 


5x-2(2x-5)=13
x=3 
y=2(3)-5=1

solution: (3,1)

The length of a rectangle is 4cm more than twice its width. The perimeter is 86cm. Find the width and length.

1) l=4+2w
2) 2(l+w)=86 


2) l+w=43 
replacing l...
(4+2w)+w=43
3w=39
w=13cm 



1) becomes
l=4+2*13
l=30cm

Solve: 4m-5n=8, 2m+3n=10

1) 4m-5n=8
2) 2m+3n=10 <-m2 


and after we swap their positions... 


4m+6n=20
4m-5n=8 


then subtract to get 
11n=12
n=12/11 


from 1)... 


4m-5(12/11)=8
4m=8+60/11
4m=148/11
m=37/11
