Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add to 90 degrees

Let x be the unknown angle

x+42 = 90

Subtract 42 from each side

x+42-42 = 90-42

x = 48

The complement is 48 degrees

Complementary angles are 2 angles that sum up to 90 degrees.

We can solve this two ways.

Solution 1:

Subtract.

90 - 42 = 48 degrees.

Solution 2:

42 + x = 90

Subtract 42 to both sides

42 - 42 + x = 90 - 42

Simplify

x = 48 degrees

Best if Luck!

Can SOMEBODYYY please do the maths!!! PLeassssssssssssseeeeeeee

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Question-6:</h3>

we are given a equation

$\sf \displaystyle \: \log_{4}( - x) + \log_{4}( 6 - x) = 2$

to solve so

recall logarithm multiplication law:

$\sf \displaystyle \: \log_{4}( - x \times (6 - x)) = 2$

simplify multiplication:

$\sf \displaystyle \: \log_{4}( - 6 x + {x}^{2} ) = 2$

remember $\displaystyle \log_{4}(4^2)=2$

$\sf \displaystyle \: \log_{4}( - 6 x + {x}^{2} ) = \log_{4}( {4}^{2} )$

cancel out $\log_4$ from both sides:

$\sf \displaystyle \: - 6 x + {x}^{2} = {4}^{2}$

simplify squares:

$\sf \displaystyle \: - 6 x + {x}^{2} = 16$

move left hand side expression to right hand side and change its sign:

since we are moving left hand side expression to right hand side there'll be only 0 left in the left hand side

$\sf \displaystyle \: - 6 x + {x}^{2} - 16 = 0$

rewrite it to standard form i.e ax²+bx+c=0

$\sf \displaystyle \: {x}^{2} - 6x - 16 = 0$

rewrite -6x as 2x-8x:

$\sf \displaystyle \: {x}^{2} + 2x - 8x - 16 = 0$

factor out x and 8:

$\sf \displaystyle \: x {(x}^{} + 2) - 8(x + 2) = 0$

group:

$\sf \displaystyle \: (x - 8){(x}^{} + 2) = 0$

$\displaystyle \: x = 8 \\ x = - 2$

$\therefore \: x = - 2$

<h3>Question-7:</h3>

move left hand side log to right hand side:

$\displaystyle \: \log(x ) + \log(x - 21) = 2$

use mutilation logarithm rule;

$\displaystyle \: \log( {x}^{2} - 21x) = 2$

$\log(10^2)=2$ so

$\displaystyle \: \log( {x}^{2} - 21x) = \log({10}^{2} )$

cancel out log from both sides:

$\displaystyle \: {x}^{2} - 21x = 100$

make it standard form:

$\displaystyle \: {x}^{2} - 21x - 100= 0$

factor:

$\displaystyle \: {(x} + 4)(x - 25)= 0$

$\displaystyle \: x = 25$

1 and 6/6 are equal because when you turn 6/6 into a whole number, it becomes 1
