So the best I could come up with is paper-rock-scissors; the operation takes two inputs and puts out the winner (assuming they are different).
So (paper rock) scissors= paper scissors = scissors,
But paper (rock scissors)= paper rock = paper.
This is a good example because it shows that associativity matters even outside of math.
Recall that all three angles in a triangle equals 180.
Knowing this, we just have to add up all the angles and figure out what the value 'x' is.
(x-22 + x-17 + 3x+19) = 180
Simplify:
5x - 20 = 180
Add 20 to both sides:
5x = 200
Divide both sides by 5:
x = 40
Now that we found the value for x, we need to solve for angle A.
Simply input the value of 'x' into angle A's equation:
40 - 22 = 18
Angle A = 18 degrees
Good luck! If you need me to explain anything, just ask :))

<span>Complementary angles by definition sum up to 90 degrees.
Let x = measure of angle2.
It's given that angle1 = x + 54
Since complementary, we know (x+54)+x = 90
2x+54=90
2x=36
x=18.
So angle2 measures 18 degrees and angle1 is 18 degrees+54 degrees, or 72 degrees. 72+18 = 90 as expected for complementary angles.</span>
City A and City B are about 76.5 miles apart because 51*1.5 = 76.5
