Let x be the angle. The complement is 3x + 10. The sum of two complementary angles is 90. So,
x + 3x + 10 = 90
4x + 10 = 90
4x = 80
x = 20
Plug x into the complement
3(20) + 10 = 70
The angle is 20 degrees and the complement is 70 degrees
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+3x+5x = 180°
x = 18°
Angles: 36°, 54°, 90°
Student P:
They messed up in step 1 because they made the 7.75 positive instead of negative, which causes the entire solution to be wrong
Student Q:
They were correct up until step 3. They didn't take all the negatives out of the equation (ex. -(3.5+7.75+29.67)).
Complete set:
From the picture, it looks like the original problem was
-2.5(1.4+3.1)+6.9(-4.3)
Step 1: multiply
1.4(-2.5)+3.1(-2.5)+6.9(-4.3)
Step 2: subtract (add?) them all together
-3.5-7.75-29.67
Step 3 should equal -40.92
45-15= 30-28= 2+18=20
Is that what the question was asking??
