Answer:
- A. 3x° + (8x - 20)° = 90°
Step-by-step explanation:
The two given angles are complementary and sum to 90°
Therefore correct choice is A.
Set up two equations:
1st: P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours
2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters
Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J
Replace P in the second equation:
20(45-J) + 35J = 1200
Simplify:
900 -20J + 35J = 1200
900 +15J = 1200
Subtract 900 from both sides:
15J = 300
Divide both sides by 15:
J = 300/15
J = 20
Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours
Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.
25/100 also 1/4
they are the same fraction, one of them is just simplified
Put a small dot on positive 4 and go down to -3 and out a big dot there and that’s your first coordinate
