Since the measures of the two angles are in the ratio 8:1, this means the bigger angle's is 8x and the smaller angle is x. Since they are complementary, they add to 90°, so you create the equation 8x+x=90°. This can be simplified to 9x=90°. Then, you divide 90 by 9 to get 10. This means x=10. Next, you replace x with 10 to find the measure of the bigger angle. 8x10=80, so the larger angle is 80°.

1.11(5) - 11(4) =
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

1) 11

2) -8

3) 30

15) 80x - 128

16) 138y

Step-by-step explanation:

For these problems, you will need to use either PEMDAS or distributive property.

PEMDAS stands for parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction. Problems must be solved by going in order of the acronym, always starting with anything in parentheses first.

Example of PEMDAS:

2) 8(-3 + 2)

Solve for what's inside the parentheses first. There are no exponents, multiplication, or division within the parentheses so next would be addition and subtraction.

-3 + 2 = -1 so the problem will now look like:

8 (-1)

Next, PEMDAS says to look for exponents. There are none. Multiplication and division are next. 8 is being multiplied by -1 so lets try that:

8 × -1 = -8

-8

Distributive property is when you take the number being multiplied on the outside of the parentheses and multiply it to each individual number within the parentheses.

Example of distributive property:

2) 8(-3 + 2)

Multiply the number on the outside of the parentheses, 8, to each number within the parentheses, -3 and 2:

8 × -3 and 8 × 2

The problem should look like:

-24 + 16

Then solve:

-8

Use whichever method you are most comfortable with as both will produce the same answer. I will solve the first few and the last few to help you.

1)

11(5) - 11(4)

55 - 44

11

3)

6(9) - 4(6)

54 - 24

30

15) *You must use distributive property for these last problems as you cannot add or subtract numbers and variables*

16(5x - 8)

80x - 128

*You can only combine like terms so this is fully simplified*

16)

23y(2 + 4)

46y + 92y

138y

58300 - 8300 - 12750 - 22400 = 14850

We take the total profit (58300) and subtract the value of all 3 contracts to see what is left over. That remaining amount (14850) is the final contract.
