The ratio of two complementary angles is 17:13. What is the measure of the smaller angle?

We know by definition that complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. We can set up an equation using the ration given:

17x+13x=90, with x representing the amount you need to multiply the ratio by to get 90.

17x+13x=90
30x=90
x=3

We now know that the number we multiply the ratio by is 3. The smaller number in the ratio is 13, and so therefore we multiply it by 3.

3*13=39

The answer is 39 degrees.

Explain how to solve 4|3x-1|+1=8​
denis-greek [22]

4|3x - 1| + 1 = 8

4|3x - 1| = 8 - 1

4|3x - 1| = 7

|3x - 1| = 7/4

Now lets think, we have 3x - 1 in module, so either its 7/4 or -7/4, we will have 7/4 at the end because of it, so we may have 2 solutions in this case:

3x - 1 = 7/4

and

3x - 1 = -7/4

So let's see:

3x - 1 = 7/4

3x = 7/4 + 1

3x = 11/4

x = 11/12

3x - 1 = -7/4

3x = -7/4 + 1

3x = -3/4

x = -1/4

So we have two possible answers, x = 11/2 and x = -1/4

What is the slope of the line? y + 5=2(x+1)
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

y+5=2(x+1)

This is in the format point-slope form, where:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Here, m is the slope.

In our original equation, 2 replaces m.

Therefore, our slope is 2.

Answer:

5/12 of rain came, or 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

complete rain be 1

then, =1-(1/4+1/3)

=1-(3+4/12) take lcm

=1-7/12

=12-7/12 again lcm

= 5/12

or

1/4 of 24 inches means 1/4×24= 6 inches

1/3 of 24 inches, then 1/3×24= 8 inches

therefore, rest of the months get

= 24-(6+8)

=24-14

=10 inches
