This works out beautifully. You COULD use long division here, but since your numerator is a quadratic, your first instinct should be to try and factor it. If you factor it, it works out to be (x - 3)(x + 2). Now it just so happens that when you do that, the (x - 3) in the numerator will cancel with the (x - 3) in the denominator leaving you with one sad and lonely (x + 2) as your answer.
Answers:
- angle1 = 156 degrees
- angle2 = 24 degrees
=======================================================
Explanation:
The two angles form a straight line, which is 180 degrees
Add up the angle expressions and set the sum equal to 180.
(angle1) + (angle2) = 180
(4x) + (x-15) = 180
(4x+x)-15 = 180
5x-15 = 180
5x = 180+15
5x = 195
x = 195/5
x = 39
We use that x value to find each missing angle
- angle1 = 4x = 4*39 = 156 degrees
- angle2 = x-15 = 39-15 = 24 degrees
Then notice how angle1+angle2 = 156+24 = 180 to verify the answer.
Side note: Angles that add to 180 are considered supplementary.

Answer:
300
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 25 ways to select the first student. After that student is removed from the selection pool for the second student, there are 24 ways to select the second student. This gives 25·24 = 600 ways to select 2 students <em>in a particular order</em>.
Since we don't care about the order, we can divide this number by the number of ways two students can be ordered: AB or BA, 2 ways.
600/2 = 300
There are 300 ways to pick a combination of two students from 25.

<em>Additional comments</em>
This sort of selection (2 out of 25) has a formula for it, and an abbreviation for the formula.
"n choose k" can be written nCk or C(n, k)
The function is a ratio of factorials:
nCk = n!/(k!(n-k)!)
If you can typeset this, it is written ...

This is different from the formula for the number of <em>permutations</em> of n things taken k at a time. That would be written nPk or P(n, k) = n!/(n-k)!.
Answer:
1
1 is the only integer that can go into 5 as 5 is a prime number
