Answer:
x = 40
smaller angle is 80
larger angle is 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Supplementary angles add up to equal 180 degrees
Hence, x + 40 + 3x - 20 = 180
( note that we just created an equation that we can use to solve for x )
We now solve for x using the equation created
x + 40 + 3x - 20 = 180
step 1 combine like terms
x + 3x = 4x
40 - 20 = 20
we now have 4x + 20 = 180
step 2 subtract 20 from each side
180 - 20 = 160
we now have 160 = 4x
step 3 divide each side by 4
160 / 4 = 40
4x / 4 = x
we're left with x = 40
we now plug in 40 for x to find the value of each angle
x + 40
* substitute 40 for x *
40 + 40 = 80
3x - 20
* substitute 40 for x *
3 ( 40 ) - 20
3 * 40 = 120
120 - 20 = 20
so the larger angle is 100 degrees and the smaller angle is 80 degrees
With questions like this (to see if theyre parallel), all you have to do is see if lines have a congruent slope. if yes (ex: 2 and 2), then they are parallel. if the slopes are opposites (ex: 4 and -1/4), then they are perpendicular. If they have no such relation (ex: -3 and 1/7), then they are neither.
with this problem, find the slope by separating the same variable in each equations, like this:
2x + 7y = 6
-2x -2x
7y = -2x + 6
(the second equation is already separated) so now we have
7y = -2x + 6 and 7y = 2x + 6
since -2 does NOT equal 2, these two graphs/lines are NOT parallel.
Hope this helped!
900 = 2 · 2 · 3 · 3 · 5 · 5
Next numbers:
2 · 2 · 2 · 3 · 3 · 3 · 5 · 5 · 5 = 900 · 15 = 13,500
2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 · 5 · 5 · 5 · 5 = 13,500 · 15 = 202,500
202,500 · 15 = 3,037,500
3,037,500 · 15 = 45,562,500
