3x² = 16x - 5
3x² - 16x + 5 = 16x - 16x - 5 + 5
3x² - 16x + 5 = 0
x = <u>-(-16) +/- √((-16)² - 4(3)(5))</u>
                       2(3)
x = <u>16 +/- √(256 - 60)</u>
                   6
x = <u>16 +/- √(196)</u><u /><u /><u />
                6
x = <u>16 +/- 14 </u>
             6
x = <u>16 + 14</u>    x = <u>16 - 14</u>
            6                   6
x = <u>30</u>            x = <u>2</u>

X - the number

3x^2=16x-5 \\&#10;3x^2-16x+5=0 \\&#10;3x^2-15x-x+5=0 \\&#10;3x(x-5)-1(x-5)=0 \\&#10;(3x-1)(x-5)=0 \\&#10;3x-1=0 \ \lor \ x-5=0 \\&#10;3x=1 \ \lor \ x=5 \\&#10;x=\frac{1}{3} \ \lor \ x=5

The number is 1/3 or 5.

Answer:

The larger angle <K, has a measure of 120 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, a supplementary angle are two or more angles that combine to form a 180 degree straight line.  So here, we need to set up an algebra equation.

2x = the larger angle (because it's two times the smaller angle)

x = the smaller angle

So then, you need to set both equal to 180 degrees, since combine they equal 180 degrees

2x + x = 180

3x = 180

x = 60

Using basic algebra, we see that the smaller angle is 60 degrees, but wee need to find the larger angle.  Remember, we represented the larger angle as 2x.  

2 time 60 is 120, so the larger angle is 120 degrees

Hope that helps :)
