Answer: 90 degrees

============================

Explanation:

Let x and y be the two angles. Because they are supplementary angles, this means x+y = 180. Also since we're told that the angle is its own supplement, we can say that y = x.

Consequently, we can replace y with x and solve for x like so:

x+y = 180

x+x = 180 .... y is replaced with x since y = x

2x = 180

2x/2 = 180/2

x = 90

This means y = 90 as well. As a check, note how

x+y = 90+90 = 180

which verifies our answer.

In the triangle shown we can find the angle θ as follows calculator

Xelga [282]

Given a right triangle with hypothenus of measure 34, the side opposite the angle θ of measure 30, and the side adjacent the angle theta of measure 16.

$\sin\theta= \frac{opposite}{hypothenuse} = \frac{30}{34} = \frac{15}{17} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\left( \frac{15}{17} \right) \\ \\ \\ \cos\theta= \frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse} = \frac{16}{34} = \frac{8}{17} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \theta=\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{8}{17} \right) \\ \\ \\ \tan\theta= \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{30}{16} = \frac{15}{8} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \theta=\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{15}{8} \right)$

Furkat [3]

Answer: 420 miles

Step-by-step explanation: She drove 7 hours at an average of 60 mph. You have to do 7 times 60 because each hour she goes 60 miles. 7 multiplied by 60 will give you 420.

I need help 6x-2y=10 x-2y=-5 solve by elimination

dem82 [27]

<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>

Given the system of equations.

$\begin{cases} 6x - 2y = 10 \\ x - 2y = - 5 \end{cases}$

Solve the system of equations by eliminating either x-term or y-term. We will eliminate the y-term as it is faster to solve the equation.

To eliminate the y-term, we have to multiply the negative in either the first or second equation so we can get rid of the y-term. I will multiply negative in the second equation.

$\begin{cases} 6x - 2y = 10 \\ - x + 2y = 5 \end{cases}$

There as we can get rid of the y-term by adding both equations.

$(6x - x) + ( - 2y + 2y) = 10 + 5 \\ 5x + 0 = 15 \\ 5x = 15 \\ x = \frac{15}{5} \longrightarrow \frac{ \cancel{15}}{ \cancel{5}} = \frac{3}{1} \\ x = 3$

Hence, the value of x is 3. But we are not finished yet because we need to find the value of y as well. Therefore, we substitute the value of x in any given equations. I will substitute the value of x in the second equation.

$x - 2y = - 5 \\ 3 - 2y = - 5 \\ 3 + 5 = 2y \\ 8 = 2y \\ \frac{8}{2} = y \\ y = \frac{8}{2} \longrightarrow \frac{ \cancel{8}}{ \cancel{2}} = \frac{4}{1} \\ y = 4$
