If sin A and cos A are the roots of the equation ax^2 - bx + c = 0, then a, b and c satisfy the equation: (A) b^2 - a^2 = 2ac, (B) a^2 - b^2 = 2ac, (C) a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ,(D) a^2 + b^2 = 2ac
A:
The algebra is tedious, but manageable. Use the pythagorean trig identity for sine and cosine set equal to the squares of the 2 roots written in quadratic equation form. Expand and simplify.

find three Consecutive odd Numbers whose sum is 234
Please check your problem statement. The sum of any odd number of odd numbers (in this case three odd numbers) will be odd, so they cannot add to 234 - an even number
Solve: x+y=3, 2y=3x-4
Solving...
1) x+y=3
2) 2y=3x-4
1)...
x=3-y
2)...
2y=3(3-y)-4
2y=9-3y-4
5y=5
y=1
1)...
x=3-1
x=2
1) x+y=3
2) 2y=3x-4
1)...
x=3-y
2)...
2y=3(3-y)-4
2y=9-3y-4
5y=5
y=1
1)...
x=3-1
x=2
