Answer:

85⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle = x

Complement = 90 - x

Given :

x = 17 (90 - x)

x = 1530 - 17x

18x = 1530

x = 1530/18 = 85⁰

Complement angles are angles which when added, the sum is equal to 90 degrees. In this case, we let angle one as x while angle 2 is represented by 17x. The equation then is equal to x + 17x = 90 ; 18x = 90. x from the equation is equal to 5. Hence teh angles are 5 degrees and 85 degrees

In a film, a character is criticized for marrying a woman when he is three times her age. He wittily replies, "Ah, but in 25ye

Sonbull [250]

Answer:age of the man: 75 age of the woman:25

Step-by-step explanation:

First, We need to define the variables

x: age of the man

y: age of the woman

at the first time he has three times her age

x=3y (1)

in 25 years time

(x+25)=2(y+25) (2)

we clear the equation

X+25=2y+50

X=2y+25

we substitute in the (1) equation:

2y+25=3y

y=25

x=3*25=75

The scatter plot shows the wages of employees.

Paladinen [302]

(1) The expected number of copies sold is 75

(2) The expected wage is $720

Explanation:

From the graph, we can see that x represents the number of copiers sold.

y represents the wages.

The equation of the graph is $y=6x+120$

(1) Given that an employee earn $570.

We need to determine the number of copiers sold.

Let us substitute $y=570$ in the equation $y=6x+120$ , we get,

$570=6x+120$

$450=6x$

$75=x$

Thus, the number of copiers sold is 75

(2) Given that if an employee sells 100 copiers, we need to determine the expected wage.

Let us substitute $x=100$ in the equation $y=6x+120$ , we get,

$y=6(100)+120$

$y=600+120$

$y=720$

Thus, the expected wage is $720
