Hey there!

If two angles are supplementary, that means that the measures of the two angles have a sum of 180.

If the two angles were of equal measure, they would both be 90 degrees.

The easiest way to get this would be to subtract 12 degrees from one 90 degree angle and add them to the other 90 degree angle so one angle has 24 more degrees then the other.

90 - 12 = 78

90 + 12 = 102

Let's check to make sure this works.

102 + 78 = 180 That checks out.

102 - 24 = 78 That also works.

So, the measures of the angles are 102 and 78.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

15 cm by 12 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amanda uses a rectangular canvas for a panting.

The length is $6x-3$ centimeters.

The width is $2x+6$ centimeters, and is 4/5 of the length .

Question asked:

.What are the dimensions of the canvas ?

Solution:

As given that the width is $\frac{4}{5}$ of the length.

$2x+6=\frac{4}{5} (6x-3)\\ \\ 2x+6=\frac{4}{5}\times6x-\frac{4}{5}\times3\\ \\ 2x+6=\frac{24x}{5} -\frac{12}{5} \\ \\$

Adding both sides by $\frac{12}{5}$

$2x+6+\frac{12}{5} =\frac{24x}{5} -\frac{12}{5}+\frac{12}{5}\\ \\ 2x+\frac{42}{5} =\frac{24x}{5}$

Subtracting both sides by $2x$

$2x-2x+\frac{42}{5} =\frac{24x}{5} -2x\\ \\ \frac{42}{5} =\frac{24x-10x}{5} \\ \\ \frac{42}{5} =\frac{14x}{5} \\ \\$

By cross multiplication:-

$5\times14x=5\times42\\ \\ 70x=210\\ \\$

By diving both sides by 70

$x=3$

Now, substituting the value:-

The length = $6x-3$ cm

= $6\times3-3=18-3=15\ cm$

The width = $2x+6$ cm

= $2\times3+6=6+6=12\ cm$

Thus, length and width of canvas are 15 cm and 12 cm.

in chemistry class Andrew has earned scores of 64 69 and 73 on three tests he must maintain an average of 72

olganol [36]

You haven't told me what the question is. But I put the mouse
to my forehead, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and I could
see it shimmering in my mind's eye. It was quite fuzzy, but I think
the question is

   "What score does Andrew need on the next test
   in order to raise his average to 72% ?"

The whole experience drew an incredible amount of energy
out of me, and the mouse is a total wreck. So we'll just go ahead
and answer that one. I hope it's the correct question.

The average score on 4 tests is

   (1/4) (the sum of all the scores) .

In order for Andrew to have a 72% average on 4 tests,
the sum of the 4 scores must be

   (4) x (72%) = 288% .

Out of that total that he needs, he already has

(64% + 69% + 73%) = 206%

on the first three tests.

So in order to average 72% for all 4 tests,
he'll need to score

   (288% - 206%) = 82%

on the fourth one.
