We can calculate this by setting up a proportion:
x/100=799/85 so we multiply 799 by 100 receiving 79900 then we divide 79900 by 85 and receive 940. So last years model weighs 940 lb.

Use an algebraic equation to find the measures of the two angles described below. begin by letting x represent the degree measur
Lina20 [59]
Two angles are said to be supplement when their measure add up to 180 degrees.

Assume that the angle we are looking for is a and its supplement is s (I used s instead of x).

a + s = 180
a = 180 - s ......> equation I

We know that <span>the measure of the angle is eight times greater than its supplement.
This means that:
a = 8s ......> equation II

Substitute by equation II in equation I to get s as follows:
180 - s = 8s
180 = 9s
s = 20 degrees

Substitute in equation I to get the measure of the angle as follows:
a = 180 - s = 180 - 20 = 160 degrees

Based on these calculations:
The measure of the angle is 160 degrees
The measure of its supplement is 20 degrees</span>
