complimentary angles = 90

complement = c

angle = x

x = 5(c - x) - 6

x = 5(90 - x) - 6

x = 450 - 5x - 6

x (+5x) = -5x (+5x) + 444

6x = 444

6x/6 = 444/6

x = 74

plug back into equation

90 - 74 = 16

16 is your answer

hope this helps

Complimentary angles, when added, = 90 degrees
so if one angle is x, then its compliment is 90 - x

x = 5(90 - x) - 6
x = 450 - 5x - 6
x + 5x = 450 - 6
6x = 444
x = 444/6
x = 74

and its compliment is : 90 - x.....90 - 74 = 16 <==

Two numbers are in the ratio 7:9 if the sum of the number is 112 then the lrger number is?

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the numbers are in ratio 7 : 9 = 7x : 9x ( x is a multiplier )

given the sum of the numbers = 112 , then

7x + 9x = 112 , that is

16x = 112 ( divide both sides by 16 )

x = 7 , then

9x = 9 × 7 = 63 ← value of larger number

2v^2-12 =-12v Would really appreciate it loves❤️

For this case we have the following equation:

$2v ^ 2-12 = -12v$

Rewriting we have:

$2v ^ 2 + 12v-12 = 0$

Dividing by 2 to both sides of the equation:

$v ^ 2 + 6v-6 = 0$

We apply the quadratic formula:

$x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}$

We have to:

$a = 1\\b = 6\\c = -6$

Substituting:

$x = \frac {-6 \pm \sqrt {6 ^ 2-4 (1) (- 6)}} {2 (1)}\\x = \frac {-6 \pm \sqrt {36 + 24}} {2}\\x = \frac {-6 \pm \sqrt {60}} {2}\\x = \frac {-6 \pm \sqrt {4 * 15}} {2}\\x = \frac {-6 \pm2 \sqrt {15}} {2}$
