Multiply each of the fractions by 1 to get them to have the same denominator.
1/4 x 3/3 = 3/12
1/3 x 4/4 = 4/12
New Equation:
3/12a + 4/12a + 8 = 22
now add up similar terms
7/12a + 8 = 22
subtract 8
7/12a = 14
multiply each side by your denominator
12(7/12)a=12(14)
7a=168
divide by 7
a = 24
We have the Y-Intercept and the X-Intercept
The Y-Intercept implies that the X variable is set to zero and the X-Intercept implies that the Y variable is set to zero when solving equations of a line.
Two supplementary angles when added together need to equal 180 degrees.
Let the first angle = X
The second angle would then be X - 152
Add them together to equal 180:
X + X - 152 = 180
Simplify:
2X -152 = 180
Add 152 to each side:
2X = 332
Divide both sides by 2:
X = 332 / 2
X = 166
The first angle = X = 166 degrees.
The second angle = X - 152 = 166 - 152 = 14 degrees.
The angles are 166 and 14
