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!

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

<em>630 cups</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages</u>

This problem is most easily solved backward, i.e., from the final data up to the beginning.

There was a new box of cups and the worker at a snack stand opened it. He first used 30 cups from the box and the second day he uses 15% of the remaining cups in the box, and we are told that represents 90 cups.

If 15% (0.15) equals 90 cups, then the number of cups before the second day was 90/0.15 = 600 cups.

On the first day, we used 30 cups, thus the original number of cups in the box was 600+30=630 cups

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

(a)3

(b)4

(c)6

(d)5

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)Josie rolls a six-sided die 18 times.

P(she rolls a two)=1/6

Therefore, the estimated number of times she rolls a two in 18 trials

=1/6 X 18

=3

(b)Slips of paper are numbered 1 through 10.

P(the number 10 appear)=1/10

If one slip is drawn and replaced 40 times, expected number of 10

=1/10 X 40

=4

(c)A spinner consists of 10 equal- sized spaces: 2 red, 3 black, and 5 white.

P(red)=2/10

If the spinner is spun 30 times, expected number of red space

=2/10 X 30

=6

(d)A card is picked from a standard deck

P(drawing an ace)=4/52

If the card is picked 65 times and replaced each time.

Expected Number of Aces =4/52 X 65 =5
