Let x represent the smaller angle.
Let y represent the larger angle.

The problem states that the larger angle measures five degrees more than four times the measure of the smaller angle.
With this given information, we can create the following equation.

y=4x+5

Also, they a supplementary, meaning that they add up to 180. We can create another equation.

x+y=180

Since we have two linear equations and we want to find the solution, we have a system of linear equations. Let's solve this system by using the substitution method.

Substitute y=4x+5 into x+y=180

x+y=180

After substituting, you get

x+4x+5=180

Now, combine the x's

5x+5=180

Subtract both sides by 5

5x=175

Divide both sides by 5.

x=35

Now, we can solve for y using the equation x+y=180 since we know the value of x.

35+y=180

Subtract both sides by 35.

y=145

The smaller angle has a measure of 35 degrees and the larger one has a measure of 145 degrees. Have an awesome day! :)

What is -5/8 times 2/3 equal in fraction form
anastassius [24]

Answer: -5/12

Step-by-step explanation: Before multiplying two fractions together by multiplying across their numerators and multiplying across their denominators, you should always try to cross-cancel as your first step.

So in this problem, the 2 and 8 cross-cancel to 1 and 4.

Also, watch out for your signs. In this problem we have a negative times a positive so we know that our answer will be negative.

Now we can multiply across the numerators and across the denominators.

So we have 5 · 1 which is 5 and 4 · 3 which is 12.

So our answer is -5/12.

Be very careful with your signs!

Find f(-2).<br> A. 4<br> B. 8<br> C. 10<br> D. 20
il63 [147K]

Answer:

D. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to plug in -2 to all the spots where x are. The new equation we have then is f(-2)= 2(-2)^2 - 3(-2) + 6. Then, we plug in the exponent to get 2(4) - 3(-2) + 6. We can then multiply to get 8 + 6 (since the three was negative as well) + 6, which equals 20.
