Answer:

The adjacent angle is 65°.

Step-by-step explanation:

∠1 and the adjacent angle are complementary angles. This means they total up to 90°.

We know that ∠1 is 25°, so we just subtract that from 90° to find the adjacent angle.

90 - 25 = 65

What is the solution of the system defined by y= -x +5 and 5x+2y=14

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

x = 4/3; y = 11/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -x + 5 and 5x + 2y = 14

Since the first equation is already solved for y, we can use the substitution method.

Substitute y of the second equation with -x + 5.

5x + 2y = 14

5x + 2(-x + 5) = 14

5x - 2x + 10 = 14

3x + 10 = 14

3x = 4

x = 4/3

Now we substitute x of the first equation with 4/3 and solve for y.

y = -x + 5

y = -4/3 + 5

y = -4/3 + 15/3

y = 11/3

Solution: x = 4/3; y = 11/3

Dave sold 60 general and reserved tickets for a concert. He sold general tickets for $10 each and reserved tickets for $15 each

swat32

Answer:

The system is of equations is:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 10g+15r=725 & \quad \\ g+r=60 & \quad \end{array} \right.$

Where g is the amount of general tickets and r is the amount of reserve tickets.

35 general tickets and 25 reserve tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let general tickets be represented by g and reserved tickets be represented by r.

Each general ticket sells for $10 each and reserved tickets $15 each. Dave collected a total of $725. Thus:

$10g+15r=725$

And a total of 60 tickets were sold. Hence:

$g+r=60$

Our system of equations is:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 10g+15r=725 & \quad \\ g+r=60 & \quad \end{array} \right.$

We can solve by substitution. First, divide both sides of the first equation by 5:

$2g+3r=145$

Next, we can subtract a variable (r in this case) from the second equation:

$g=60-r$

Substitute:

$2(60-r)+3r=145$

Distribute:

$120-2r+3r=145$

Simplify:

$120+r=145$

Subtract:

$r=25$

Using the previous equation:

$g=60-r$

Substitute and evaluate:

$g=60-(25)=35$

So, 35 general tickets and 25 reserve tickets were sold.
