Answer:

x = 165, y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Well, what does supplementary mean? - The angles add up to 180°.

2. Let's form an equation: x + y = 180°

3. Let's say x is the larger angle and y is the smaller angle.

4. Let's form another equation: x = 150 + y

5. Put the two equations next to each other:

x + y = 180

x = 150 + y

6. We know what x is equaled to, so let's plug it into the first equation!

150 + y + y = 180

150 + 2y = 180

-150 -150

2y = 30

y = 15

7. Now, we know what y is, let's find x!

x + 15 = 180

-15 -15

x = 165

$2.50+3x=$9.25, if you need to work it out, then you do $9.25-$2.50. You take your answer and divide by three... whatever your solution is, equals X. There you go!

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Given that the numerator of a given fraction is 4 less than its denominator.

Also given that 3 is subtracted from the numerator and 5 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes one by fourth .

Let the fraction be

Since the numerator of a given fraction is 4 less than its denominator we have,

Numerator=Denominator-4

⇒ a=b-4

Since 3 is subtracted from the numerator and 5 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes one by fourth we have

4(a-3)=1(b+5)

4a-12=b+5

4a-b=17

4(b-4)-b=17 ( ∵ a=b-4)

4b-16-b=17

3b=17+16

3b=33

⇒ b=11

Now put b=11 in a=b-4 we get

a=11-4

⇒ the fraction is a/b=7/11

Students in Miss Moseley's fourth grade class are learning multiplication, and they demonstrate mastery by passing assessments.

blagie [28]

Answer:
Each will have passed 17 tests and it will take 3 weeks.

Explanation: 
Let x be the number of weeks.
The number of tests Travis passes to begin with is 11.
We then add 2 tests per week, or 2x to that, giving us:
11+2x.

The number of tests Jenifer has passed to begin with is 2.
We then add 5 tests per week, or 5x to that, giving us:
2+5x.

Setting these equal, we have: 
11+2x=2+5x.

Subtract 2x from each side: 
11+2x-2x=2+5x-2x;
11=2+3x.

Subtract 2 from each side: 
11-2=2+3x-2;
9=3x.

Divide both sides by 3:
 $\frac{9}{3} = \frac{3x}{3}$ ;
3=x.

It will take 3 weeks.
In 3 weeks,
Travis will have passed:
11+2*3 = 11+6 = 17 tests.
Jenifer will have passed the same number, since she catches up with him at this point.
