Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180° . The two angles of a linear pair , like ∠1 and ∠2 in the figure below, are always supplementary.
C = 2πr
17 = 2(3.14)(r)
17 = 2(3.14r)
17 = 6.28r
6.28 6.28
2.71 ≈ r
Let the three numbers be x, y, and z.
If the sum of the three numbers is 3, then x+y+z=3
If subtracting the second number from the sum of the first and third numbers gives 9, then x+z-y=9
If subtracting the third number from the sum of the first and second numbers gives -5, then x+y-z=-5
This forms the system of equations:
[1] x+y+z=3
[2] x-y+z=9
[3] x+y-z=-5
First, to find y, let's take do [1]-[2]:
x+y+z=3
-x+y-z=-9
2y=-6
y=-3
Then, to find z, let's do [1]-[3]:
x+y+z=3
-x+-y+z=5
2z=8
z=4
Now that you have y and z, plug them into [1] to find x:
x+y+z=3
x-3+4=3
x=2
So the three numbers are 2,-3, and 4.
Answer: The total amount the water change was -28 gallons by the end of the week <u>OR</u> The total amount the water changed decreased 28 gallons by the end of the week. Depending on how you want to word it.
Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Create you equation:</u>
x = the total amount the water changed
d = the amount of days
x = -4d
<u />
<u>Insert the known information into the equation and solve:</u>
x = -4d
x = -4(7)
x = -28
