Answer:
x=23°; θ=87°
Step-by-step explanation:
These two angles create what is known as supplementary angles, or 2 angles that add up to 180°. We know this because all horizontal lines are 180° on either side. Since we know the total value of these two angles should equate to 180°, we can set up a simple equation:
Now, using algebra, we can solve for x:
Plugging x back into the equation, we get:
Therefore, the total angle is equal to 87° and x is equal to 23°.

A 52-card deck is made up of an equal number of diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs. Because there are 4 suits, there is a 1/4 chance to draw one of them, in our case, spades.
There are 4 aces in a 52-card deck, so the chance of drawing one is 4/52, or 1/13.
The question asks for the probability of drawing an ace or a spade. Because it uses the word "or," we add the probabilities together. This is because there is a chance of drawing either of the cards; it doesn't have to meet both requirements to satisfy the statement.
However, if the question were to say "and," we would multiply the two probabilities.
Let's add 1/4 and 1/13. First, we can find a common denominator. We can use 52 because both fractions can multiply into it (since the ratio came from a deck of 52 cards as well).
Now we can add them together.
This cannot be simplified further, so the probability is 17 in 52, or 33%.
