The man with the greater share receives $2,300. The other man receives $2,000.

Let us assume the man with less share gets x dollars. This is 100% of x. The man that receives 15% more then receives 115%, or 1.15x. Their total shared inheritance is $4,300. This can also be shown using their individual received portions:
x + 1.15x = 2.15x
Since both represent the total inheritance, they are equal. Thus, solve for x:
2.15x = 4300 \\ \frac{2.15x}{2.15} = \frac{4300}{2.15} \\ x = 2000

The man with the smaller share received x dollars, which can now be determined as $2,000. The man with the greater share receives 1.15x dollars, which using substitution is equal to $2,300.

To check, add the final individual shares and see if they equal the total.
2000 + 2300 = 4300
Since they are equal, the answer is correct.

The answer choice which represents the solution to the inequality as given in the task content is; x>-2 or x≤ 1.

<h3>What is the solution of the give complex inequality?</h3>

On this note, it follows that the inequalities can be solved individually as follows;

-4 < 3x +2

-6 < 3x

x > -2

Also, 3x +2 ≤ 5

3x ≤ 3

x ≤ 1.

Ultimately, the correct answer choice is; Choice C; x>-2 or x≤ 1.

(a) The measure of the indicated angle for figure 1 is 48⁰.

(b) The measure of the indicated angle for figure 2 is 42⁰.

<h3>Measure of the indicated angle</h3>

The measure of the indicated angles can be calculated as follows;

<h3>Figure 1</h3>

sinθ = opp/hypo

sinθ = 72/97

sinθ = 0.7423

θ = sin⁻¹(0.7423)

θ = 47.9⁰ ≈ 48⁰

<h3>Figure 2</h3>

sinθ = 65/97

sinθ = 0.6701

θ = sin⁻¹(0.6701)

θ = 42.1⁰ ≈ 42⁰
