Answer: a. (x-6) + 5x = 90 b. Angle One = 10° Angle Two = 80°
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Since angle 1 plus angle 2 is a right angle, then their sum is 90 degrees. The equation form angle 1 is x-6 and the equation for angle 2 is 5x, so (x-6) + 5x = 90
B. To find x,
x - 6 + 5x = 90
x + 5x = 96
6x = 96
x = 16
So, angle one = (16) - 6 = 10° and angle two = 16 * 5 = 80°

it is B

X=11/10 that is what x equal I think
Let's look at work rates per minute.
Together they can paint the wall in x minutes.
Working together, in 1 minute, they do 1/x of the job.
The student who paints the wall in 16 minutes does 1/16 of the job in 1 minute.
The student who paints the wall in 24 minutes does 1/24 of the job in 1 minute.
Together, they do 1/16 + 1/24 of the job in 1 minute, but from above, we see that together, they do 1/x of the job in 1 minute, so 1/16 + 1/24 must equal 1/x. That gives us our equation.
1/16 + 1/24 = 1/x
1/16 * 3/3 + 1/24 * 2/2 = 1/x
3/48 + 2/48 = 1/x
5/48 = 1/x
x = 48/5 = 9.6
Answer: It takes them 9.6 minutes, or about 10 minutes to do the job together.
