Let
x = measure of the angle
y = measure of the supplement 

By definition of supplementary, the two angles add to 180 degrees, so
x+y = 180
This is the first equation.

The second equation is y = 3x-16 since we're given the info that "the supplement is 16 degrees less than three times the angle"

--------------------------

The system of equations is
x+y = 180
y = 3x-16

Focus on the first equation x+y = 180, plug in y = 3x-16, and solve for x

x+y = 180
x+3x-16 = 180  ... y is replaced with 3x-16
4x-16 = 180
4x-16+16 = 180+16
4x = 196
4x/4 = 196/4
x = 49

Because x = 49, we can use this to find y
y = 3x-16
y = 3*49-16
y = 147 - 16
y = 131

-------------------------------------------------------------

Final Answers:
The measure of the angle is 49 degrees
The measure of the supplement is 131 degrees

<h3>Answer: C) I and II only</h3>

===============================================

Work Shown:

Part I

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 2}\frac{x-2}{x+2} = \frac{2-2}{2+2}\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 2}\frac{x-2}{x+2} = \frac{0}{4}\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 2}\frac{x-2}{x+2} = 0\\\\\\

----------

Part II

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0}\frac{\sin(x)}{x+2} = \frac{\sin(0)}{0+2}\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0}\frac{\sin(x)}{x+2} = \frac{0}{2}\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0}\frac{\sin(x)}{x+2} = 0\\\\\\

----------

Part III

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5}\frac{x}{x} = \lim_{x \to 5}1\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5}\frac{x}{x} = 1\\\\\\

What is the geometric mean of 30 and 6
Alik [6]
Since we have 2 numbers, we'll be square rooting.

All we have to do to find the mean is multiply & square root the products.

30 × 6 = 180

\sqrt{180} = 13.42

You can use the same process and check my answer if you'd like; I rounded the square root, so you may get a different answer.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,7) and is parallel to the line y= -2x-1
Nuetrik [128]

if we look at the equation y = -2x - 1, is already in slope-intercept form, therefore, \bf y=\stackrel{slope}{-2}x-1 has a slope of -2.


now, parallel lines have exactly equal slopes, therefore a parallel to that one above, will have also a slope of -2, so we're really looking for a line whose slope is -2 and runs through -1, 7.


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})\qquad \qquad \qquad slope =  m\implies -2\\\\\\\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-7=-2[x-(-1)]\\\\\\y-7=-2(x+1)\implies y-7=-2x-2\implies y=-2x+5
