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!

Which phrase describes a nonlinear function?
Lorico [155]
The only non-linear equation from your choices is the area of a circle as it is:

A=πr^2  and if you take the derivative of A you have:

dA/dr=2πr

So the rate of change changes as r changes, it is not constant thus the function has acceleration, so velocity changes.

This is in contrast to any linear equation which is of the form:

y=mx+b  now taking the derivative you see that:

dy/dx=m, now m is a constant value, which means that there is no acceleration and the velocity remains constant.

Math question Informatin in dot plots
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Range =  difference between the highest and the lowest

Mode = Data that occurs the most time

Median = Arrange  the data in ascending order. The middle data is the median. If number of data is even, median is the average of the two middle  terms.

1) Range = 28 -21 = 7

Mode = 25

Number of data (Count the total dots) = 14

Median = average of  7th and 8th term

Median = (25+25)/2 = 50/2 = 25

2) Range = 0.18 - 0.11 = 0.07

Mode = 0.15 and 0.16

Number of data = 23

Median =12th term = 0.15
