The measures of two complementary angles are in the ratio 2:3. What is the measure of the smaller angle?

1 answer:

5 0

Ratio = 2:3
Let smaller angle be 2x
Let bigger angle be 3x
Sum of two complementary angles = 90
2x + 3x = 90
5x = 90
x = 90/5 = 18
Smaller angle = 2x= 2*18 = 36
I hope it is helpful :D

Solve the following equation for x, and express it’s value in terms of c. 3(cx-7)=9

sveta [45]

Answer:

$x=\frac{10}{c}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is $3(cx-7)=9$ . We require x in terms of c.

$3(cx-7)=9$

Dividing both sides with 3 we get

$(cx-7)=3$

Add 7 on both sides we get

$(cx)=10$

Dividing both sides with c we get

$x=\frac{10}{c}$
