A. 8.75
B. 0.72
C. 9.31
D. 23.04
E. 6.98
Edited answer: The number is: "- 6" .
_______________________________________________
8 (8 + x) = 16 ;
in which "x" represents the number for which to be solved ;
8*8 + 8*x = 16 .
Edit: 64 + 8x = 16 ;
Subtract "64" from each side of the equation:
Edit: 64 + 8x − 64 = 16 <span>− 64 ;
to get: 8x = </span>- 48 ;
Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "8" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the <span>equation ; and</span> to solve for "x" ;
Edit: 8x / 8 = -48 / 8 ;
Edit: x = - 6 .
______________________________________________
The number is: "- 6" .
______________________________________________
Let us check our answer, by plugging in "-6" for "x" in the original equation:
______________________________________________
8 (8 + x) = 16 ;
→ 8 [8 + (-6) ] =? 16 ?? ;
→ 8 (8 − 6 ) =? 16 ?? ;
→ 8 (2) =? 16 ?? ;
→ 16 = ? 16 ?? Yes!

We know that the ocean floor has a depth of 247 ft, and we also know that the diver is<span> underwater at depth of 138 ft, so its distance from the ocean floor will be:
</span>

ft
<span>
Now, the </span>rock formations rises to a peak 171 to above the ocean floor, so to find <span>how many feet below the top of the rock formations is the diver, we are going to subtract the distance to the driver form the ocean floor from the rock formations height:
</span>

ft
<span>
We can conclude that the diver is 62 feet </span><span>
below the top of the rock formations.</span>
2 angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°.
For example if m(P) = 41° and m(Q)=49°, then P and Q are complementary.
Thus A and B are complementary means that m(A)=m(B)=90°:
(3x+5°) + (2x-15°) =90°
5x-10°=90°
5x=100°
x=20°
Thus
m(A)=3x+5°=3* 20°+5°=60°+5°=65°
m(B)=2x-15°=2*20°-15°=40°-15°=25°
