Answer:

x+6=y and 3x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the distance traveled by Bryan and let y be the distance traveled by Sam then the first equation would be:

x+6=y (x plus 6 is equal to y, Bryan's distance plus 6 is equal to Sam's distance) and the second one is:

3x=12 (3 times x is 12, 3 times the distance travelled by Bryan is 12)

So our statements/equations are:

x+6=y and

3x=12 (we dont write this as x=4 as it asks us to give the statements we got from the information given, we only start simplifying once it tells us to solve)

Two angles are supplementary. The measure of one angle is 4 times the measure of the other angle. What is the measure of the sma

Alexus [3.1K]

ANSWER

The smaller angle is

$y = 36 \degree$

.EXPLANATION

Let the angles be
$x \: and \: \: y$

where y is the smaller angle.
Since they are supplementary, they will add up to 180°.

This implies that,

$x + y = 180 \degree...(1)$

If one angle is 4 times the other, we can then write the following equation,

$x = 4y...(2)$

We put equation (2) into equation (1) to get,

$4y + y = 180 \degree$

$5y = 180 \degree$

We divide through by 5 to obtain,

$y = 36 \degree$

This implies that,

$x = 4(36)$

$x = 144 \degree$

dusya [7]

Answer:

The Schusters will have to pay $2,034 in the sixth month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Carpet King is trying to increase sales, and it has instituted a new promotion by which all purchases can be paid on the installment plan with no interest, as long as the total is paid in full within six months, and there is a $20 minimum monthly payment required, if the Schuster family buys carpeting for $2,134 and makes only the minimum payment for five months, to determine how much will they have to pay in the sixth month, the following calculation must be performed:

2134 - (5 x 20) = X

2134 - 100 = X

2034 = X

Therefore, the Schusters will have to pay $ 2,034 in the sixth month.
