Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Reduce the ratio to lowest terms, then multiply numerator and denominator by any same value to get another equivalent.

Answer:
x = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 4(3x - 7) = 40 ( divide both sides by - 4 )
3x - 7 = - 10 ( add 7 to both sides )
3x = - 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = - 1
Let the angles be A and C
<span>Complimentary angles, therefor </span>
<span>A + C = 90 </span>
<span>The measurement of the complement of an angle exceeds the measure of the angle by 25% (you used a % sign so I'll use % instead of degrees) </span>
<span>C = 1.25A </span>
<span>Substitute </span>
<span>A + 1.25A = 90 </span>
<span>2.25A = 90 </span>
<span>A = 40º <----- </span>
<span>C = 50º <----- </span>
<span>------------------------------ </span>
<span>If you meant 25º </span>
<span>A + (A + 25) = 90 </span>
<span>2A + 25 = 90 </span>
<span>2A = 65 </span>
<span>A = 32.5º </span>
<span>C = 57.5º</span>
