In a triangle, the three interior angles always add to 180°

5x + 7x + 8x = 180
20x = 180
x = 180/20
x = 9

m∠1 = 5x = 5*9 = 45°

m∠2 = 7x = 7*9 = 63°

m∠3 = 8x = 8*9 = 72°

Answer:
45°, 63° and 72°

Which is better: Car A that travels 308 miles on 11 gallons of gasoline OR Car B that travels 406 miles on 14 gallons of gasolin

Jet001 [13]

$\begin{gathered} \text{Car A travels 308 miles on 11 gallons, so, the ratio of miles per galon is} \\ \frac{308}{11}=28\text{ miles per gallon} \\ \\ \text{for the car B, the ratio is} \\ \frac{406}{14}=29\text{ miles per gallon} \end{gathered}$

thus, the best car is car B,because it can tavel 29 miles with only one gallon,andcar A can only travel 28 miles with one gallon.

Find the quotient of 5+4i/6+8i , and express it in the simplest form

Sergio [31]

Remember: i² = -1

$\frac{5+4i}{6+8i}= \frac{(5+4i)(6-8i)}{(6+8i)(6-8i)}= \frac{30-40i+24i-32i^2}{36-64i^2}= \frac{30-16i-32(-1)}{36-64(-1)}= \\ \\ = \frac{30-16i+32}{36+64}= \frac{62-16i}{100}=0.62-0.16i$
