The sum of two complementary angles is 90°. For one pair of complementary angles, the measure of the first angle is 15 less than

twice the measure of the second angle. Write a system of equations that can be used to determine the measure of the first angle, a, and the measure of the second angle, b.

let 2nd angle = x

 then 1st angle = 2x-15

 then you have 90 = x + 2x-15

2x +x = 3x

 so now 90 = 3x-15

add 15 to each side

105=3x

x = 105/3 = 35

1st angle = 35 degrees

 2nd angle = 2(35) - 15 = 70-15 = 65

Answer:

Measure of first angle = 65° and Measure of second angle = 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let measure of first angle be a and measure of second angle be b

Now, the measure of the first angle is 15 less than twice the measure of the second angle

⇒ a + 15 = 2b

⇒ a = 2b - 15

Now, sum of two complementary angles is 90

⇒ a + b = 90

⇒ 2b - 15 + b = 90

⇒ 3b - 15 = 90

⇒ 3b = 105

⇒ b = 35

And a = 65

Therefore, Measure of first angle = 65° and Measure of second angle = 35°

in the diagram below, AB and BC are tangent to O. Which equation could be solved to find y, the measure of ADC
grin007 [14]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ABC is formed by 2 tangents to the circle and is measured as

∠ABC = \frac{1}{2} (m  arc ADC - m arc AC ), that is

\frac{1}{2} (y - 119) = 61 → A

Belle's Cupcakes recently sold 6 pistachio cupcakes and 8 other cupcakes. Considering this data, how many of the next 56 cupcake
VikaD [51]

Answer: 24 pistachios cupcakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

They recently sold 6 pistachio cupcakes and 8 other cupcakes.

Then we can model this with the ratio 6:8

This means that for each 6 pistachio cupcakes sold, they also sell 8 of another type of cupcakes.

Whit this info, if they sell 56 cupcakes, how many of them will be pistachio cupcakes?

Using the ratio above, we must find a number N such that:

N*6 + N*8 = 56.

N*(6 + 8) =  56

N*14 = 56

N = 56/14 = 4.

This means that:

out of the 56 cupcakes, 4*6 = 24 are pistachios cupcakes

                                        4*8 = 32 are other cupcakes.

Then you should expect that 24 out of the 56 cupcakes are pistachios cupcakes.

nikitadnepr [17]

1 cup of chocolate chips for every 1and 3/4 cup of flour

 so divide 4 and 2/3 x 1 and 3/4

turn them both into fractions

4 2/3 = 14/3

1 3/4 = 7/4

14/3 / 7/4 = 14/3 x 4/7 = 56/21 = 2 and 2/3 cups of chocolate chips are needed
