Answer:

5 and 85 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so if 2 angles are complementary, that means when put together they equal 90 degrees.

So, let's say one angle is a.

This means the bigger angle would be 17 times the smaller angle, or 17a.

Now let's make an equation:

a + 17a = 90

Now, we have to combine the like terms:

18a = 90

Now in order to find the smaller angle, we just have to divide by 5:

a = 5

This means that the smaller angle is 5 degrees, but because the bigger angle is 17 times the size, we just multiply 5 and 17 together to get 85 degrees.

Hope this helps :)

What is the solution to this inequality: -4(3x-5)<2(3x+4)​
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

x > 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(3x - 5) < 2(3x + 4)​

Divide both sides by 2.

-2(3x - 5) < 3x + 4

Distribute on the left side.

-6x + 10 < 3x + 4

Subtract 3x from both sides.

-9x + 10 < 4

Subtract 10 from both sides.

-9x < - 6

Divide both sides by -9. Remember that when you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign changes direction.

x > (-6)/(-9)

x > 6/9

x > 2/3

Eli and Karl each throw a basketball straight up in the air at the same time. Eli is standing on a deck and the height of his ba
tino4ka555 [31]
We are to find the time at which the height of basketball thrown by Eli and Karl is equal. We have the functions which model the heights of both basketballs. So by equating the functions representing the height of both basketballs we can find the value of x from that equation at which the height is same for both basketballs.

-4.9 x^{2} +12x+2.5=-4.9 x^{2} +14x \\  \\ &#10;12x+2.5=14x \\  \\ &#10;2.5=2x \\  \\ &#10;x=1.25

Thus after 1.25 seconds the height of basketballs thrown by Eli and Karl will be at the same height. This can be verified by finding the heights of both at x=1.25

For Eli:
Height=f(1.25)=-4.9 (1.25)^{2}+12(1.25)+2.5=9.84375

For Karl:
Height=f(1.25)=-4.9 (1.25)^{2}+14(1.25)=9.84375

Thus height of both basketball is equal after 1.25 seconds
