Answer:

Angle O is 72 degrees. Angle C is 18 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that angle B is 90 degrees because Lines AC and OB are perperdicular at point B.

Add together all of the angles in the triangle

a + 4a + 90 = 180 Combine like terms

5a + 90 = 180

- 90 - 90 Subtract 90 from both sides

5a = 90 Divide both sides by 5

a = 18

Plug this answer into the angles to find their measures

Angle C = 18 degrees

Angle O = 4(18) = 72 degrees

If we are to write this equation in slope-intercept form, it will be in y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept. We need then to find the slope of the line using 2 points on the line and filling in the slope formula to find the slope. One of the points we can use is (0, 3) which is also the y intercept. The y-intercept is found where x = 0. Where x = 0, y = 3. So b = 3. Now for the slope we will use (0,3) and (4,4): $m= \frac{4-3}{4-0} = \frac{1}{4}$ . Using that m value and that b value we have the equation $y= \frac{1}{4}x+3$ . There you go!

The sum of three numbers is 26. Twice the first minus the second is the third less 2. The third is the second minus 3 times the

Agata [3.3K]

Let a, b, c represent the three numbers. The problem statement gives rise to three equations:

a +b +c = 26
2a -b = c -2
-3a +b = c

Adding the first two equations gives

... (a +b +c) +(2a -b) = (26) +(c -2)

... 3a +c = 24 +c . . . . . simplify

... 3a = 24 . . . . . . . . . . subtract c

... a = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Adding the second and third equations gives ...

... (2a -b) +(-3a +b) = (c -2) +(c)

... -a = 2c -2 . . . . simplify

... -6 = 2c . . . . . . add 2, substitute for a

... -3 = c . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Using the third equation we can find b.

... -3·8 +b = -3 . . . . substitute for a and c

... b = 21 . . . . . . . . .add 24

The numbers are 8, 21, -3.

The method above is sort of "ad hoc", taking advantage of the numbers in this particular set of equations. You can use more formal methods of Gaussian elimination or Cramer's Rule to solve these by just following a procedure. Or, your graphing calculator can do it for you.

112-88 = 24

they save $24 per month

so 650/24 = 27.083

so it will pay for itself in 27.083 months, round up to 28 months
