Step-by-step explanation:

length = x

width = 2x-8

b.) to get the area you need to multiply the length and the width.

l×w= area

x(2x-8)

2x^2-8x

c.) 2x^2-8x = 10

subtract 10 both sides

2x^2-8x-10 = 0

2(x^2-4x-5) = 0

2(x-5)(x+1) = 0

x = 5

the area would be 10.

Two angles are complementary.The larger angle is 30 degrees more than 4 times the smaller

gregori [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

2 angles are complementary means that 2 angles add up to 90°. That is the guiding princeple behind the problem.

Givens

Let the smallest angle = x

Let the largest angle = 4x + 30

Equation

4x + 30° + x = 90° Combine like terms on the left

Solution

5x + 30 = 90 Subtract 30 from both sides.

5x + 30 - 30 = 90 - 30 Combine

5x = 60 Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 60/5

x = 12

Answer

smallest angle = 12
Larger angle = 4*12 + 30 = 78
