Answer:
45 people prefered coffee, 81 people prefered tea. A total of 126 people were surveyed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t be the people who prefer tea, and let c be the people who prefer coffee.
The ratio between tea and coffee is 9:5, thus we have t/c=9/5. Cross products give us 5t=9c.
Also, we have 36 more people prefer tea than coffee, so we have c+36=t
Thus we have: 5(c+36)=9c
5c+180=9c
180=4c
c=45
c+36=t
45+36=81
Answer:
Complement: 55°
Supplement: 145°
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Complementary </em>angles are any two angles which sum to 90° (a right angle); <em>supplementary </em>angles sum to 180° (a straight angle).
35 + 55 = 90, so 55° is the <em>complement </em>to 35°, while 145° is the <em>supplement, </em>since 35 + 145 = 180.
5x - 7y =58
y =-x +2
Using the substitution method, replace y in the first equation with the second equation:
5x - 7(-x+2) = 58
Simplify by using the distribution property:
5x - (-7x) - 14 = 58
Simplify by combining like terms:
12x -14 = 58
Add 14 from each side of the equation:
12x = 72
Divide both sides by 12:
X = 72/12
x = 6
Now you have x, replace x in the second equation and solve for y:
y = -x +2
y = -6 +2
y = -4
X = 6, y = -4
