Hey there!

To find our answer, we need to set up a <u><em>system of equations. </em></u>Remember, <u><em>supplementary angles</em></u> equal 180 degrees when combined. We will call one of our angles A and the other one B. Let's set it up below! :)

A=2B-15 (one angle is 15 degrees less than twice the other)

A+B=180

We need to find one of our variables. To do this, we only put one variable in the equation. But how, there are two variables in both equations! Well, as you can see, we see the A is equal to 2B-15, so we can take 2B-15 and put it into the second equation in place of A because it is equal to A, and then we will only have Bs and we can solve for it. This method is known as solving systems of equations with <u><em>substitution.</em></u>

Let's solve with substitution!

2B-15+B=180

3B-15=180              We combine our Bs.

3B=195              We add 15 to both sides.

B= 65                We divide both sides by three.

Now, we need to find what A is, but this will be really easy to do! If you remember, our angles are supplementary, so when you combine them, we will get 180, as you can see in our second equation in our first system of equations. So, we simply subtract 65 from 180.

180-65=115

Our two angles are 65° and 115°.

We can also check this with the original problem.

If you double 65, we have 130. Then, if we subtract 15, we have 115. Systems of equations are a pretty awesome way to figure this out!

I hope this helps! Have a great day!

Whoever answers first gets the brainliest Given : f(x)=-|x+9|
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -|x + 9|

compared to

f(x) = |x|

has a graph that opens downward in an upside down V shape.

It has been moved 9 units left compared to the graph of f(x) = |x|.

It reflects over the x-axis.
