Given:

The measure of the first angle is 40° less than the measure of the second.

To find:

The measures of the complementary angles that satisfy the given condition.

Solution:

Let the measure of first angle be x°.

According to the given condition,

First angle = Second angle - 40°

x^\circ =\text{Second angle}-40^\circ

Add 40° on both sides.

(x+40)^\circ =\text{Second angle}

We know that, sum of complementary angles is 90°. So,

First angle + Second angle = 90°

x^\circ +(x+40)^\circ =90^\circ

2x^\circ +40^\circ =90^\circ

2x^\circ =90^\circ -40^\circ

2x^\circ =50^\circ

Divide both sides by 2.

x^\circ =25^\circ

So, the measure of first angle is 25°.

(x+40)^\circ =(25+40)^\circ =65^\circ

So, the measure of second angle is 65°.

80 people were asked which was their favourite animal.
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

(a)Cat

(b)8 animals

(c)6 people

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached diagram:

Let the \square be x.

Half of \square =x/2

From the pictogram, we then have:

Cat = x+\frac{x}{4} \\Dog=x+\frac{3x}{4}\\Giraffe=2x+\frac{x}{2}\\Monkey =x+\frac{x}{2}\\Dolphin=3x

Therefore:

x+\frac{x}{4} +x+\frac{3x}{4}+2x+\frac{x}{2}+x+\frac{x}{2}+3x=80\\8x+\frac{x}{4}+\frac{3x}{4}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}=80\\10x=80\\x=8

So we have the following numbers

Cat = x+\frac{x}{4} =8+\frac{8}{4}=10\\Dog=x+\frac{3x}{4}=8+\frac{3*8}{4}=14\\Giraffe=2x+\frac{x}{2}=2*8+\frac{8}{2}=20\\Monkey =x+\frac{x}{2}=8+\frac{8}{2}=12\\Dolphin=3x=3*8=24

(a)Cat was the least popular

(b) \square represents 8 animals

(c)

Number of People who preferred giraffe=20

Number of People who preferred dogs=14

Difference=20-14=6

Therefore, 6 more people preferred  giraffes than dogs.

Find the sum of the distinct prime factors of $5^5 - 5^3$.
grin007 [14]

The prime factorization is $2016=2^5\times3^2\times7$. Since the problem is only asking us for the distinct prime factors, we have $2,3,7$. Their desired sum is then $\boxed{\textbf{(B) }12}$.
