Answers:

Angle A = 104 degrees

Angle B = 76 degrees

=================================

Supplementary angles add to 180 degrees.

A+B = 180

(3x-7)+(2x+2) = 180

5x-5 = 180

5x-5+5 = 180+5 ... add 5 to both sides

5x = 185

5x/5 = 185/5 .... divide both sides by 5

x = 37

Use x =37 to find

Angle A = 3x-7 = 3*37-7 = 111-7 = 104 degrees

Angle B = 2x+2 = 2*37+2 = 74+2 = 76 degrees

As a check: A+B = 104+76 = 180 so that helps confirm the answer

Find the measure of the missing angle. a 50°

xeze [42]

Answer:

a = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

I. When total angle is 180 or half of circle

Find a or missing angle by

180 = 50 + 90 + x

180 - 140 = x

x = 40º

That makes a is 40º

Hope that help :)

The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:5. There are 32 students in the class. How many more girls than boys are there?

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

There are 8 more girls

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 32 by 8 (since the ratio is 3:5 which is 8 parts (3+5)). You get 4.

Thus, there are 12 boys and 20 because 3*4 is 12 and 5*4 is 20. 12+20 is 32.
