Two complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. Hence, the problem can be set up and solved. Let x represents one angle and 5x represent the angle that is 5 times greater:x + 5x = 90 (simplify)6x = 90 (next divide both sides by 6 to find the value of x [the smaller angle])x = 15 (this is the smaller angle, next subtract 15 from 90 to find the greater angle)90 - 15 = 75 (this is the greater angle which is 5 times that of its complement) 90 take away 73...

Answer:

75⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle = x

Complement = 90 - x

Given:

x = 90 - x + 60

2x = 150

x = 75⁰

Simplify. (-2)-3 -8 - 8 user: simplify. 6x-2

Vinvika [58]

If you would like to simplify (-2)-3 -8 - 8 and 6x - 2, you can do this using the following steps:

(-2)-3 -8 - 8 = - 2 - 3 - 8 - 8 = - 5 - 8 - 8 = - 13 - 8 = - 21

6x - 2 = 2 * (3x - 1)

The correct result would be - 21 and 2 * (3x - 1).

Answer:

Is only if a Biconditional?

The general form (for goats, geometry or lunch) is: Hypothesis if and only if conclusion. Because the statement is biconditional (conditional in both directions), we can also write it this way, which is the converse statement: Conclusion if and only if hypothesis.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Mai lives 384 miles away from the mountains

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent distance between Mai's house and mountains and r represent Mai's rate while going to mountains.

We have been given that there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip to mountains took 8 hours.

$\text{Distance}}=\text{Time}\times \text{Speed}$

$d=8r...(1)$

We are also told that when Mai drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 6 hours. Her average rate was 16 miles per hour faster on the trip home.

$d=6(r+16)...(2)$
