angle 1+ angle 2=180 supplementary angles add up to 180
angle 2=x assign angle a variable
angle 1= 3x-38 find equation for first angle
3x+x-38=180 set both angles added together equal to 180
4x-38=180 combine like terms
4x=218 add 38 to both sides
x=54.5 divide by 4
angle 2= 54.5
angle 2= (3x54.5)-38 plug back in and solve
angle 1= 125.5
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a is -3
Step-by-step explanation:
negative 3 minus 2 is negative 5 plus 3 is negative 2
The value of the coin times the number of coins all added up equals the total value of the piggy bank
so
0.05n + 0.10d = 5.60
then they have given us "number of nickels is 8 less than 3 times the dimes"
this translates to
n = 3d - 8
we plug this into our first equation and we get
0.05(3d - 8) + 0.10d = 5.60
now we solve for d
first we can distribute the 0.05
0.15d - 0.40 + 0.10d = 5.60
then we can add the 0.15d and 0.10d together
and get
0.25d - 0.40 = 5.60
then we can add 0.40 to both sides
0.25d = 6.00
then divide both sides by 0.25
d = 6.00 / 0.25 = 24
so we have 24 dimes
then to find nickels, we plug in 24 for d into
n = 3d - 8
and get
n = 3(24) - 8
n = 72 - 8
n = 64
therefore we have
64 nickels
and
24 dimes
