Answer:
-1.5 or -1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
I can only guess what is actually asked for. a lot of things went wrong when copying this problem description in here.
the basic question I understand is to solve the equation of
4(n + 10) = 34
=>
n + 10 = 34/4 = 8.5 or 8 1/2
n = 8.5 - 10 = -1.5 or -1 1/2
Ratio of complement of x : supplement of x
2 : 5
⇒ 2 times the supplement of x will be equal to 5 times the complement of x
5(90 - x) = 2 (180 - x)
450 - 5x = 360 - 2x
5x - 2x = 450 - 360
3x = 90
x = 30°
Complement of x = 90 - x = 90 - 30 = 60
Supplement of x = 180 - x = 180 - 30 = 150
Ratio:
60 : 150
60 ÷ 30 : 150 ÷ 30
2 : 5 (checked)
Find the difference in temperature between each 1000 feet:
From 1 to 2: 30 - 23.5 = 6.5
From 2 to 3: 23.5 - 17 = 6.5
From 3 to 4: 17 - 10.5 = 6.5
The temperature change is constant as it drops 6.5 degrees for every 1000 foot gain in elevation.
At 5,000 feet the temperature would be : 10.5 - 6.5 = 4
At 6,000 feet: 4 - 6.5 = -2.5
At 7,000 feet: -2.5 - 6.5 = -9
At 8,000 feet: -9 - 6.5 = -15.5
At 8,000 feet the temperature would be -15.5 degrees.
Answer: The answer is x = -10
