Answer:

55 degrees and 125 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary means that they add up to 180.

x + y = 180

Let's let x be the larger angle.

x = 15 + 2y

The above equation comes from the information given, that it's 15 more than twice the smaller angle.

Now let's use substitution.

x + y = 180

(15 + 2y) + y = 180

15 + 3y = 180

3y = 165

y = 55

The smaller angle is 55. Plug this back in to the first equation to get x.

x + y = 180

x + 55 = 180

x = 125

Now that you have both, test them again just to be sure that they fit the given conditions.

Question 1 - work out the value of 300

MAXImum [283]

question 1=30

question 3 =1/20

Step-by-step explanation:

question 1

300/2×5
300/10

300\10 you will take by 0 0
so the ans is 30/1
answer is 30

question 2 am not sure

question 3

it is 20/1
so the reciprovol of 20/1 is 1/20
that's all I know for no 2 I will some one. thanks

bezimeni [28]

Slope = (rise) / (run)

Rise = (171-93) = 78 ft

Run = 6.5 yards = 19.5 ft

Slope = (78 / 19.5)

Slope = 4

The correct figure is not included in the list of choices.

Solve for x<br> (1/x) -2/3 = (4x)

Vadim26 [7]

The value of x is $x=\frac{-1+\sqrt{37}}{12}$ and $x=\frac{-1-\sqrt{37}}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is $\frac{1}{x}-\frac{2}{3}=4 x$

Subtracting by $4x$ on both sides,

$\frac{1}{x}-\frac{2}{3}-4 x=0$

Taking LCM,

$\frac{3-12 x^{2}-2 x}{3 x}=0$

Multiplying by 3x on both sides,

$-12 x^{2}-2 x+3=0$

Dividing by (-) on both sides,

$12 x^{2}+2 x-3=0$

Using quadratic formula, we can solve for x.

$\begin{aligned}x &=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{2^{2}-4 \cdot 12 \cdot(-3)}}{2 \cdot 12} \\&=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4+144}}{2 \cdot 144} \\&=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{148}}{24} \\&=\frac{-2 \pm 2 \sqrt{37}}{24}\end{aligned}$

Taking out common term 2, we get,

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{-2(1 \pm \sqrt{37})}{24}} \\{x=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{37}}{12}}\end{array}$

Thus, the value of x is $x=\frac{-1+\sqrt{37}}{12}$ and $x=\frac{-1-\sqrt{37}}{12}$

A dollar bill is worth _____ pennies. When written in decimal format, each penny can be written as ______ of a dollar. 100:10 10

erik [133]

Hey there! :D

A dollar bill is worth 100 pennies.

$1.00-> .01*100 <=== same thing

When written in decimal format, each penny can be written as 100:1, because there are 100 pennies in a dollar. One penny would just be one out of 100.

I hope this helps!
