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.

Ilya [14]
A is correct because if you subsitute 5 for d or days, you get 140 for both equations

B is obviously wrong because a positive number of days +20 is not more than 5 for charlie's car rentals

C is wrong because we saw that in 5 days, the car companies earn equal ammounts

D is wrong because we saw that in 5 days, the car companies earn equal ammounts

The ratio of students in Class X to Class Y is 2 : 5. There are 24 more students in Class Y than Class X. How many students must
Natalka [10]

Answer: 12 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X and Y stand for the number of students in each respective class.

We know:

X/Y = 2/5, and

Y = X+24

We want to find the number of students, x, that when transferred from Y to X, will make the classes equal in size. We can express this as:

(Y-x)/(X+x) = 1

---

We can rearrange X/Y = 2/5 to:

X = 2Y/5

The use this value of X in the second equation:

Y = X+24

Y =2Y/5+24

5Y = 2Y + 120

3Y = 120

Y = 40

Since Y = X+24

40 = X + 24

X = 16

--

Now we want x, the number of students transferring from Class Y to Class X, to be a value such that X = Y:

(Y-x)=(X+x)

(40-x)=(16+x)

24 = 2x

x = 12

12 students must transfer to the more difficult, very early morning, class.
