Answer:
40 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Complementary angles have a sum of 90.
y = 90 - x
The angle is 260 degrees less than six times its complement.
y = 6x - 260
90 - x = 6x - 260
350 - x = 6x
350 = 7x
50 = x
This is the measure of the complement.
y = 90 - x
y = 90 - 50
y = 40
This is the measure of the first angle.

Answer:
- train: 40 kph
- plane: 140 kph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t represent the speed of the train in km/h. Then 4t-20 is the speed of the plane. Travel times are the same, so we can use the formula ...
time = distance/speed
and equate the travel times.
110/t = 385/(4t-20)
Cross multiplying gives ...
110(4t -20) = 385t
440t -2200 = 385t . . . . . eliminate parentheses
55t -2200 = 0 . . . . . . . . . subtract 385t
t -40 = 0 . . . . . . . . . divide by 55
t = 40 . . . . . . . . . . . add 40; train's speed is 40 kph
4t -20 = 140 . . . . . . find plane's speed; 140 kph
The train's speed is 40 km/h; the plane's speed is 140 km/h.
_____
<em>Check</em>
Train's travel time = 110 km/(40 km/h) = 2.75 h.
Plane's travel time = 385 km/(140 km/h) = 2.75 h.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem, all the angles of a triangle have to add up to equal 180 degrees. For us, in our triangle:
a + 2b + 70 = 180 so
a + 2b = 180 -70 and
a + 2b = 110. That's why.
