An complementary angle = 90°

one of the angles is twice as large as the smaller one

let the larger angle be x, and the smaller = y

x = 2(y)
x + y = 90

Plug in 2y for x

2y + y = 90

simplify, combine like terms

2y + y = 90

3y = 90

isolate the y, divide 3 from both sides

3y/3 = 90/3

y = 90/3

y = 30

plug in 30 for y in the equation x + y = 90

x + (30) = 90

isolate the x, subtract 30 from both sides

x + 30 (-30) = 90 (-30)

x = 90 - 30

x = 60
°

The measurement of the larger angle is 60°

hope this helps

vova2212 [387]
For this case we have the following expression:
 h (t) = -16t ^ 2 + 64t + 80
 For t = 0 we have:
 h (0) = -16 (0) ^ 2 + 64 (0) + 80
 h (0) = -0 + 0 + 80
 h (0) = 80 feet
 Therefore the number 80 represents the initial height of the rocket
 Answer:
 
the 80 in the expression represented:
 
the initial height of the rocket

vesna_86 [32]
<span>We know that the runner completed her first race in 17.8 seconds and that she completed her second race in 16.9 seconds. Then the difference between the first race and the second race is .9 seconds. Now we divide .9 by 17.8 and multiply by 100 to get the percent decrease. We get 5.06%. The percent decrease in her time is 5%.</span>

What was Dimitri's mistake? He mixed up the coordinates of the ordered pair when Substituting it into the equations 7x+9y=-4 and
seropon [69]

Answer:

He made a mistake in his calculations when simplifying 5x - 2y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The coordinate pair

(x,y) = (2,-2)

The equations

7x + 9y = ?

5x - 2y = ?

Dimitri's Solution

Equation\ 1: 7x + 9y = -4.

7(2) + 9 (-2) = -4.

14 + (-18) = -4.

-4 = -4.

Equation\ 2: 5x -2y = 6.

5(2) - 2 (-2) = 6.

10 - 4 = 6.

6 = 6.

Required

Identify Dimitri’s mistake

In the first equation, Dimitri made no mistake.

However, he made a mistake when simplifying the second equation.

We have:

5x - 2y

and

(x,y) = (2,-2)

Substitute x = 2 and y = -2

So, we have:

5(2) -2(-2)

Open bracket

10 +4

Finally, we have:

14
