Answer:

B. 70^{\circ}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the required angle and y be its complement and z be its supplement.

We have been given that the sum the measures of a complement and a supplement of an angle is 200.

x+y+z=200^{\circ}...(1)

We know that complementary angles add up-to 90 degrees, so we can set an equation as:

x+y=90^{\circ}...(2)

We know that supplementary angles add up-to 180 degrees, so we can set an equation as:

x+z=180^{\circ}....(3)

We will use substitution method to solve our given equation. From equation (2) and (3) we will get,

y=90^{\circ}-x

z=180^{\circ}-x

Substituting these values in equation (1) we will get,

x+90^{\circ}-x+180^{\circ}-x=200^{\circ}

Combine like terms:

-x+270^{\circ}=200^{\circ}

-x+270^{\circ}-270^{\circ}=200^{\circ}-270^{\circ}

-x=-70^{\circ}

x=70^{\circ}

Therefore, the measure of the required angle is 70 degrees and option B is the correct choice.

1. What would the polynomial x + 7 – 4x^3 be written as in standard form?
yarga [219]
Hello there!

The only thing we need to do to get this polynomial in standard form is rearrange the terms!

x+7-4x^3
-4x^3+x+7 is the polynomial written in standard form. Remember to keep track of the negatives!

The GCF of the polynomial
24x^5+18x^9 is...
6x^5
Because it is the greatest term that goes into both 24x^5 AND 18x^9!
This will end up helping you factor later on.
6x^5(4+3x^4)

I really hope this helps!
Best wishes :)

Helppppppppppp please am struggling
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

x = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

The circle is 360°, thus

2y + y = 360

3y = 360 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 120°

The tangent- secant angle ABT is one half the measure of the intercepted arc AB, thus

x = 0.5 × 120° = 60°

Answer:

Equation: 3x - 11 = 85

Solution: x = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 11 = 85

You will have to do the opposite to the equation shown on the screen.

3x = 96 (85 + 11)

x = 32 (96 / 3)
