An complementary angle = 90°
one of the angles is twice as large as the smaller one
let the larger angle be x, and the smaller = y
x = 2(y)
x + y = 90
Plug in 2y for x
2y + y = 90
simplify, combine like terms
2y + y = 90
3y = 90
isolate the y, divide 3 from both sides
3y/3 = 90/3
y = 90/3
y = 30
plug in 30 for y in the equation x + y = 90
x + (30) = 90
isolate the x, subtract 30 from both sides
x + 30 (-30) = 90 (-30)
x = 90 - 30
x = 60°
The measurement of the larger angle is 60°
hope this helps
Since you are solving for a, you want to have a on one side of the equation and the other terms on another side of the equation. It would be easiest to have all the terms with a on the left side of the equation, so that is what we will do.
Subtract 9a from both sides to get a on the left side of the equation.
5 + 5a = -5
Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with a.
5a = -10
Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for a.
a = -2
10. x=y/6+1 11. x=-2g+r/2
