When angles are complementary, the sum of their measures is 90 degrees (meaning the two angles add up to 90). The two complement

ary angles have measures of 2x-10 degrees and 3x-10 degrees. Find x and the measures of each angle

Answer:

x=22

The measure of the angle 2x-10 is 34 degrees.

The measure of the angle 3x-10 is 56 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

What you first want to do is add both of the equations up so that they equal 90 which would look like 2x-10+3x-10=90 next add up all like terms to get 5x-20=90. Now you want to add 20 on both sides to get 5x by itself which leaves you with 5x=110. Now you want to isolate x by dividing by 5 on both sides to finally get x=22.

To find the measure of the other two angles you want to simply plug in 22 as the value of x in each so you get 2(22)-10=34 and 3(22)-10=56.

tester [92]
Let the angles be A and C 

<span>Complimentary angles, therefor </span>
<span>A + C = 90 </span>

<span>The measurement of the complement of an angle exceeds the measure of the angle by 25% (you used a % sign so I'll use % instead of degrees) </span>
<span>C = 1.25A </span>

<span>Substitute </span>
<span>A + 1.25A = 90 </span>
<span>2.25A = 90 </span>
<span>A = 40º <----- </span>
<span>C = 50º <----- </span>
<span>------------------------------ </span>

<span>If you meant 25º </span>
<span>A + (A + 25) = 90 </span>
<span>2A + 25 = 90 </span>
<span>2A = 65 </span>
<span>A = 32.5º </span>
<span>C = 57.5º</span>

Tell whether the given value is a solution of the inequality.<br> x + 1 &gt; 10; x = 9
Oliga [24]

Answer:

given x+1 > 10,

x > 10 - 1

x > 9

which means x MUST BE more than 9 , which also means 9 isnt included in the inequality therefore x = 9 is not a solution.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Let x be the number of days you need to work.

Your goal is to achieve at least 10 000 steps.

x + 5274 ≥ 10 000

x ≥ 10 000 - 5274

x ≥ 4726

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You need to take at lest another 4726 steps to achieve the goal.
