x = one angle

y = other angle

y = 15+x

complements add to 90 degrees

x+y = 90

substitute for y (15+x)

x + 15+x = 90

combine like terms

2x+ 15 = 90

subtract 15 from each side

2x = 75

divide each side by 2

x = 75/2

x = 37.5

y = x+15

y = 37.5 + 15

y =52.5

The two angles are 37.5 and 52.5

Make x the subject of the following: b = x - 5

nevsk [136]

B=x-5
To get x on its own you have to add 5 to both sides. This gives you:
b+5=x
or
x=b+5

What is the sum of the first 37 terms of the arithmetic sequence?

lidiya [134]

Answer:

The sum of the first 37 terms of the arithmetic sequence is 2997.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence concepts:

The general rule of an arithmetic sequence is the following:

$a_{n+1} = a_{n} + d$

In which d is the common diference between each term.

We can expand the general equation to find the nth term from the first, by the following equation:

$a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)*d$

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

$S_{n} = \frac{n(a_{1} + a_{n})}{2}$

In this question:

$a_{1} = -27, d = -21 - (-27) = -15 - (-21) = ... = 6$

We want the sum of the first 37 terms, so we have to find $a_{37}$

$a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)*d$

$a_{37} = a_{1} + (36)*d$

$a_{37} = -27 + 36*6$

$a_{37} = 189$

Then

$S_{37} = \frac{37(-27 + 189)}{2} = 2997$

The sum of the first 37 terms of the arithmetic sequence is 2997.
