Answer:

The angle measures 25°; the complement measures 65°; the supplement measures 155°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of two complementary angles is 90.

If the angles measure x and y, then x + y = 90.

Given angle x, then y = 90 - x.

The sum of the measures of two supplementary angles is 180.

If the angles measure x and y, then x + y = 180.

Given angle x, then y = 180 - x.

Let the angle be x.

Its complement is 90 - x.

Its supplement is 180 - x.

5(90 - x) = 2(180 - x) + 15

450 - 5x = 360 - 2x + 15

-3x = -75

Angle: x = 25

Complement: 90 - x = 90 - 25 = 65

Supplement: 180 - x = 180 - 25 = 155

Answer: The angle measures 25°.;, the complement measures 65°; the supplement measures 155°.

If a car with an average speed of 40 miles per hour drives for 45 minutes how far will it have gone

REY [17]

Answer: $30\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of the car is 40 miles per hour:

$V=40\ \frac{mi}{h}$

The car drives for 45 minutes:

$t=45\ min$

Since 1 hours has 60 minutes, we can convert the time from minutes to hours:

$(45\ min)(\frac{1\ h}{60\ min})=0.75\ h$

Knowing these values, we can use the following formula for calculate the distace "d":

$d=V*t$

Therefore, substituting values into the formula, we get:

$d=(40\ \frac{mi}{h})(0.75\ h)\\\\d=30\ mi$
