Answer:
90°, 78°, 12°
Step-by-step explanation:
let the third angle be x then the second angle is 7x - 6
Since 1 of the angles in the triangle is 90° then the second and third angles sum to 90° , then
x + 7x - 6 = 90
8x - 6 = 90 ( add 6 to both sides )
8x = 96 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 12
Then
second angle = 7x - 6 = 7(12) - 6 = 84 - 6 = 78°
The 3 angles are 90°, 78°, 12°
X + y = 2400
y = 3x
x + 3x = 2400
4x = 2400
x = 2400/4
x = 600 <== Mrs. Storey drove 600 miles
y = 3x
y = 3(600)
y = 1800 <== Mr. Storey drove 1800 miles
The answer for that equation will be 0.375.
