Two angles are supplementary. One is 56° more than three times three times the other. Find the measures of the angles.

1 answer:

8 0

Supplementary means they equal 180 when added. Therefore:

X+56+3x=180
Combine common units
4x+56=180
Subtract 56 from both sides
4x=124
Divide by 4
X=31

Now we know the smaller angle is 31 degrees. Now we plug that into the larger angle:
3(31)+56
93+56
149

The larger angle is 149 degrees.

I hope this Helps!

What is the exact value of the expression the square root of 486. − the square root of 24. + the square root of 6.? Simplify if

kenny6666 [7]

Sqrt(486) - sqrt(24) + sqrt(6)

find the factors of 486 that we can remove from under the square root sign
2 * 243
2 * 3 * 81
2 * 3 * 9 * 9 (we have 2 nines, we can move a 9 outside the sqrt sign)
sqrt(486) = 9 sqrt(6)

Repeating for sqrt(24)
2 * 12
2 * 2 * 6
2 * 2 * 2 * 3 (we can move a 2 outside the sqrt
sqrt(24) = 2 sqrt(6)

Finally, add all 3 terms together

9 sqrt(6) - 2 sqrt(6) + sqrt(6)
8 sqrt(6)

8 times square root of 6 is the final answer

Help!!! What is the equation of of the line that represents your initial climb?

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

y = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

The exact equation for the climb would be y = (x-3)^2 + 9, however, a rough line that represents the climb is y = 3x.

Find the slope between (0, 0) and (3, 9) and we get m = 3. Plug it into y-int form and you get the line.
