When two angles are supplementary, their angle measures add up to 180°. That means that the angles measures of angle m and angle n should add up to 180. With this information, you can set up the equation m + n = 180. You can find the value of x by substituting m and n with their values and solving algebraically.

6x + 3 + 2x - 7 = 180       Add up like values (6x and 2x) (3 and -7)
              8x - 4 = 180       Add 4 to both sides      
                   8x = 184       Divide both sides by 8
                     x = 23

Now to find the measures of angles m and n, substitute the x value into both of the equations and solve.

m = 6x + 3              Substitute
m = 6(23) + 3         Multiply
m = 138 + 3           Add
m = 141°

-----------------------------------------------

n = 2x - 7               Substitute
n = 2(23) - 7          Multiply
n = 46 - 7              Subtract
n = 39°

You can check your work by adding the two angle measures to make sure hey are supplementary.

141° + 39° = 180°

So angle m is 141° and angle n is 39°.

Sarah and Jean were able to sell 4 dozen of cupcakes in a hour at a school fair if this rate continue how many dozen s of cupcak
Alik [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly,

We can tell by reading the question that they sell 48 cupcakes witch is 4 dozens every hour so if they continue to sell at that same rate then:

There are 8 hours between 9am and 5pm

∴ It is 48:1

That means 48 cupcakes per hour this is equation is a direct proportion so if any number increases so will the other

So if it is 48:1 then x:8 with be = 48x8

∴ Sarah and Jean will be able to sell 384 cupcakes
