For what value of x is angle 1 complementary to angle 2, if m angle 1=5x+4 and m angle 2=7x+2?

1 answer:

6 0

Two Angles are Complementary when they add up to 90 degrees (a Right Angle). They don't have to be next to each other, just so long as the total is 90 degrees.

So (5x + 4) + ( 7x + 2) = 90

12x + 6 = 90

12x = 90 – 6

12x = 84

X = 7

The sum of a certain number and a second number is -42. The first number minus the second number is 52. find the numbers

julia-pushkina [17]

Let the first number be x and decide number be y
therefore x+y = -42
also. x-y = 52 using the process of elimination
we get: 2x = 10
we divide both sides by 2, which gives us x=5
then we substitute the value of x in the first equation
that gives us. 5+y = -42
thus. y = -47

The slope of a line is negative for use the cordons of the labeled point to find a point-slope equation of the line.

Alexeev081 [22]

For slope m and point (x₁, y₁), the point-slope equation of the line can be written as
y -y₁ = m(x -x₁)

You have m = -4 and (x₁, y₁) = (4, -9), so the equation of your line is
D. y+9 = -4(x-4)
