An angle measured 10 degrees less than the measure of its complementary angle. Find the measure of both angles

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mazyrski [523]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The measure of the angles are 40 degrees and 50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the measure of one angle in degrees

y ----> the measure of the complementary angle in degrees

we know that

If two angles are complementary, then their sum is equal to 90 degrees

so

x+y=90 ----> equation A

we have that

x=y-10 ----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

(y-10)+y=90\\2y-10=90\\2y=100\\y=50

Find the value of x

x=50-10=40

therefore

The measure of the angles are 40 degrees and 50 degrees

3x=6y. i need help to turn that into y-intercept form and find tge y intercept. Help please
evablogger [386]
3x = 6y

to get this into slope-intercept form, you simply need to solve for y. remember that slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is your slope and b is your y-intercept.

3x = 6y ... divide both sides by 6
1/2x = y
y = 1/2x is your equation in slope-intercept form. because no "b" value is present, your intercept will simply be 0.

you are considering 2 jobs. one job pays $250 per week, plus 4.5% commission on all sales. The second job pays $1,800 per month
Hoochie [10]
The correct answer is A. Not only does $250 a week equal $1000 a month but the commission is also higher.

first job: $250wk = $1000 Month + .045 commission 
= $12000 year + .045 commission 
second job = $1800 Month + .03 commission 
= $21600 year + .03 commission 
commission based on sales of $1,000,000 

1,000,000 times .045 = $45000 
1,000,000 times .030 = $30000 

FIRST JOB: $12,000 + $45,000 = $57,000 
SECOND JOB: $21,600 + $30,000 = $51,600 

The answer is definitely A.
