Answer:

B = 68°  and  C = 22°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let angle B's measure be B and angle C's measure be C.

Also note that complementary means that they sum to 90.

Now:

<u>The m∠B is two more than three times the measure of ∠C:</u>

we can write:

B = 3C + 2

<u>If ∠B and ∠C are complementary angles:</u>

B + C = 90

Putting 1st equation in 2nd, we get:

B + C = 90

3C + 2 + C = 90

4C = 90 - 2

4C = 88

C = 88/4 = 22

Now B = 3C + 2, so

B = 3(22) + 2 = 68

Hence, B = 68 degrees and C = 22 degrees

Two buses leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One bus travels 15 /kmh faster than the other. If
Nat2105 [25]
Since the buses travel in opposite directions, the speed at which they distance themselves is the sum of their speeds.
One bus travels at speed s.
The other bus travels at speed s + 15.
The sum of the speeds is s + s + 15 = 2s + 15

speed = distance/time

distance = speed * time

366 = (2s + 15) * 2

183 = 2s + 15

168 = 2s

s = 84

The slower bus travels at 84 km/h.

s + 15 = 84 + 15 = 99

The faster bus travels at 99 km/h.

Check:
In 2 hours, the slower bus travels 2 * 84 km = 168 km
In 2 hours, the faster bus travels 2 * 99 km = 198 km
In 2 hours, the buses are 198 km + 168 km = 366 km apart.
Our answer is correct.

Determine the value of a 10 year old car that costs $24,500 new and depreciates by 9% every year
son4ous [18]
First, we need to know how much the car depreciates each year. Multiply the price of the car by the percentage.

We can turn 9% into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the right.

9% = .09

24500 * .09 = 2205

Multiply the product by the amount of years you want to predict the price at.

2205 * 10 = 22050

Subtract that from the original price of the car.

24500 - 22050 = 2450

The value of a 10 year old car that costs $24500 and depreciates 9% every year will cost $2450.
