Answer:

The measure of the angle is <u>64</u> degree.

The measure of the supplement is <u>116</u> degree.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the measure of the angle be 'x'.

Given:

Supplement of the angle is 12 less than twice the measure of the angle.

Twice the angle means 2 times of the angle which is 2x and 12 less means 12 is subtracted from 2x.

So, supplement of the angle = 2x-12

Now, by definition of supplementary angles, if two angles are supplement of one another, then their sum is 180 degrees.

Therefore, the sum of the given angles = 180°

⇒ x+2x-12=180

⇒ 3x-12=180

⇒ 3x=180+12

⇒ 3x=192

⇒ x=\frac{192}{3}=64\°

The measure of the supplement = 2(64)-12=128-12=116

The measure of the angle is <u>64</u> degree.

The measure of the supplement is <u>116</u> degree.

James used a substitution to solve this system of equations. Which equation could be a result of his first step? 2x+3y=12 y=x+1.
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

x = 1.5

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this system of equation using the substitution methods we say let

2x+3y=12................................... equation 1

y=x+1.5..................................... equation 2

substitute equation 2  into equation 1

2x+3y=12................................... equation 1

2x + 3( x + 1.5) = 12

2x + 3x + 4.5 = 12

5x + 4.5 = 12

collect the like terms

5x = 12 - 4.5

5x = 7.5

divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 5

5x/5 = 7.5/5

x = 1.5

put x = 1.5 into equation 2

y=x+1.5..................................... equation 2

y = 1.5 + 1.5

y = 3

therefore the value of x = 1.5 and y = 3 respectively.

Find the measure of the indicator arc
harina [27]

Answer:

m(WXY) = 224°

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure of inscribed angle = ½ the measure of intercepted arc

Therefore:

m<C = ½*m(WXY)

112° = ½*m(WXY) (substitution)

Multiply both sides by 2

2*112° = m(WXY)

224° = m(WXY)

m(WXY) = 224°
