The measure of one of two complementary angles is 6 degrees less than one half the measure of the other. Find the measure of the

smaller angle

It's helpful to choose letters to represent the measures of these complementary angles.  Let x represent one and y the other.

What does "complementary angle" mean?  x + y = ??

Let x be the smaller angle.  First, we take "half the measure of the larger angle," or (y/2).  Then we subtract 6 degrees from this result (y/2).  The result is the xmaller angle, x.

Now you have two equations in x and y.  Solve for one of these angles, and then find the other.  Please show your work.

If there are 100 tickets to a concert and 200 fans who would like to go to the concert, each placing a slightly different value
Setler79 [48]
It's more efficient to hold a random drawing because the probability is higher.
\frac{100}{200}  =  \frac{1}{2}
For every 2 person, 1 person gets to go to the concert.

Answer is 1/2 aka 0.5 aka 50%

Help with this work pls​
Travka [436]

Answer:

  (6, 2), (0, -2), (-3, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The intercepts are clearly (0, -2) and (3, 0). This eliminates the bottom two choices.

Both of these are listed in the upper left choice, but the third point there, (-6, -5), is not on the graph. This leaves only the upper right choice. Checking the remaining two points in that choice, (6, 2) and (-3, -4), confirms they are both on the graph.
