Answer:

The measure of the complement angle is $18\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the angle

we know that

The complement of an angle is equal to $(90-x)\°$

The supplement of an angle is equal to $(180-x)\°$

we have

The complement of an angle is one-sixth the measure of the supplement of the angle

$(90-x)\°=(1/6)(180-x)\°$

solve for x

$(540-6x)\°=(180-x)\°$

$(6x-x)=(540-180)\°$

$(5x)=(360)\°$

$x=72\°$

Find the measure of the complement angle

$(90-x)\°$ ------> $(90-72)=18\°$

Answer:

18⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle = x

Complement = 90 - x

Supplement = 180 - x

Given:

90 - x = 1/6 × (180 - x)

540 - 6x = 180 - x

5x = 360

x = 72

Complement = 90 - 72 = 18⁰

Find all points on the x-axis that are 14 units from the point (6,-7) All points on the x-axis that are 14 units from the point

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer: $(6+7\sqrt{3},0)\text{ and }(6-7\sqrt{3},0)$ are the required points.

or (18.124,0) and ( -6.124,0) are the required points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x,0) be the point on x -axis that are 14 units from the point (6,-7) .

Then by distance formula , we have

$\sqrt{(x-6)^2+(0-(-7))^2}=14\ \ \ [\ \because distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}]$

Taking square on both the sides , we get

$(x-6)^2+7^2=14^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+6^2-2(6)x+49=196\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+36-12x=147\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-12x=111\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-12x-111=0$

Using quadratic formula : $x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{(-12)^2-4(1)(-111)}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{144+444}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{588}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{2^2\times7^2\times3}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm14\sqrt{3}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=6\pm7\sqrt{3}$

so, $(6+7\sqrt{3},0)\text{ and }(6-7\sqrt{3},0)$ are the required points.

since $\sqrt{3}=1.732$

so, $(6+7(1.732),0)\text{ and }(6-7(1.732),0)$ are the required points.

i.e. (18.124,0) and ( -6.124,0) are the required points.

4(x-6)<-2x+6 what is the solution to the inequality <br> _

Cloud [144]

Simplify both sides if needed. The left-hand side needs simplification.

4(x - 6) $\leq$ -2x + 6
4x - 24 $\leq$ -2x + 6

All is left to do is add and subtract to get the x variable all alone.

4x - 24 $\leq$ -2x + 6
6x - 24 $\leq$ 6 <-- Add 2x to both sides
6x $\leq$ 30 <-- Add 24 to both sides
x $\leq$ 5 <-- Divide both sides by 6

In order to be in the solution set, x has to be less than or equal to 5.

In interval notation: [5, -∞)

Adam is going to cook a turkey for 14 people and wants to allow 3/4 lb of turkey for each person. 1lb = 450g

Zarrin [17]

(You forgot to add the question, but I guess you want to know the mass of the turkey for 14 people :p )
By hypothesis, 1 lb = 450g. Adam wants that each of the 14 person, get 3/4 lb. Let x be the mass of 3/4 lb in grams, using the rule of three:

1 lb --> 450g
3/4 lb --> x

x = 3/4 * 450 = 337.5
So 3/4 lb = 337.5 g

Adam wants to cook for 14 people and wants to allow 3/4 lb of turkey for each person, so 337.5 for each.
So to know the total mass of the turkey, you multiply the mass for one person by the total number of people:
337.5 * 14 = 4725
So the mass of the turkey for 14 people is 4725g, or 10.5 lb (3/4 * 14)

Hope this Helps! :)
