Angles 1 and 2 are complementary, and angle 1=3x+3 and angle 2=10x-4, find the degree measure of each angle

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The measure of the angles:

24° and 66°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles sum 90°

then:

(3x + 3) + (10x-4) = 90

3x + 10x + 3 - 4 = 90

13x - 1 = 90

13x = 90+1

13x = 91

x = 91/13

x = 7°

then:

angle 1:

3x+3 = 3*7 + 3 = 21+3 = 24°

angle 2

10x - 4 = 10*7 - 4 = 70 - 4 = 66°

Check:

66° + 24° = 90°

Nuts.com sells raw almonds for $10 per pound and roasted pistachios for $12 per pound. Christopher spends $70, before taxes and

sp2606 [1]

Christopher purchased 2.8 pounds of almonds and 3.5 pounds to roasted pistachios.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of almonds per pound = $10

Cost of roasted pistachios = $12

Total amount spent = $70

Weight of nuts = 6.3

Let,

Weight of almonds = x

Weight of roasted pistachios = y

According to given statement;

x+y=6.3 Eqn 1

10x+12y=70 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 10

$10(x+y=6.3)\\10+10y=63\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2;

$(10x+12y)-(10x+10y)=70-63\\10x+12y-10x-10y=7\\2y=7$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{7}{2}\\y=3.5$

Putting y=3.5 in Eqn 1

$x+3.5=6.3\\x=6.3-3.5\\x=2.8$

Christopher purchased 2.8 pounds of almonds and 3.5 pounds to roasted pistachios.

Which correctly describes the graph shown below

Alborosie

The answer is C. Explanation: The line isn’t a straight line, so it can’t be a linear line. Then, do the vertical line test to see if the line is a function (to do this, draw a vertical line through the graph, and see if it passes more than one point on the graph. If the vertical line passes any more than one point on the graph on any spot, it is not a function), and since the graph fails the vertical line test, it is not a function. Therefore, the answer is C.
