\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{-2}{2} 

x=-15x - 6 = 3x -8

Two angles are complementary. If the measure of one angle is twice the measure of the other angle, what is the measure of the la
Alenkinab [10]
Two angles are complementary: x + y = 90 (complementary = 90 degrees)
x = 2y

plug in 2y for x

2y + y = 90
3y = 90
3y/3 = 90/3
y = 30

plug in 30 for y
x = 2y
x = 2(30)
x = 60

x (the largest angle) = 60°

Suppose you begin a job with an annual salary of $32,900. Each year you are assured of a 5.5% raise. What its the total amount t
olga2289 [7]

Answer: the total amount that you can earn in 15 years is $737245. Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

You receive an annual salary of $32,900 and each year, you are assured of a 5.5% raise. Assuming there was no raise, you get 100% of your previous salary each year. With a raise of 5.5%, you will get 100 + 5.5 = 105.5% of your previous salary for each year. This is a geometric progression and we want to determine the sum of 15 terms(15 years).

The formula for the sum of terms in a geometric progression is

Sn = [a(r^n - 1)]/ r - 1

Sn = sum of n terms

a = the first term

n = number of terms

r = common ratio

From the information given,

a = 32900

n = 15

r = 105.5/100 = 1.055

S15 = [32900(1.055^15 - 1)] / 1.055 - 1

S15 = [32900(2.23247649 - 1)] / 0.055

S15 = 32900 × 1.23247649) / 0.055

S15 = 737245.0277

S15 = $737245

Why does a siren have a higher pitch as it approaches you?
Airida [17]

Answer:

Apparent Increase in Wave Frequency

As the ambulance approaches you, the distance between the source of the waves and the observer decreases. Consequently, the siren sounds more shrill as the pitch of the wailing siren 'sounds' higher than its original value, as sound waves reach you 'more frequently'.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 4y = 13 (1)

2x + y = 5 (2)

——————

3x - 4y = 13

4(2x + y = 5) (2) times 4

——————-

3x - 4y = 13

8x + 4y = 20

——————-

11x = 33

x = 33/11

x = 3

Plug x = 3 in (2):

2(3) + y = 5

6 + y = 5

y = 5-6

y = -1

Thus, x = 3 and y = -1
