Two complementary angles are the ratio if 4:2 find the measure of each angle

1 answer:

6 0

Let the ratio be termed as 4x and 2x.
Now,
4x + 2x= 90
or,6x=90
or,x=90/6
or,x=15
So the measure of angles are,4x= 4×15
= .........
and,2x=2×15 =.....

A hotel offers two activity packages. One costs $192 and includes 3 h

poizon [28]

Let x = Horseback riding and y = Parasailing

Eq. 1

3x + 2y = 192

Eq. 2

2x + 3y = 213

By elimination:

2(3x + 2y = 192)

+ -3(2x + 3y = 213)

-5y = - 255

y = $ 51

Substitute y :

3x + 2y = 192

3x + 2(51) = 192

x = $ 30

Hope this answer will be a good help for you.

Find two numbers if their sum is 6.1 and their difference is 1.6

Radda [10]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
x: unknown number (1)
y: unknown number (2)
We now write the equations that model the problem:
their sum is 6.1:
$x + y = 6.1
$
their difference is 1.6:
$x - y = 1.6
$
Solving the system we have:
We add both equations:
$x + x = 6.1 + 1.6

2x = 7.7

x = 7.7 / 2

x = 3.85$
Then, we look for the value of y using any of the equations:
$x - y = 1.6

y = x - 1.6

y = 3.85 - 1.6

y = 2.25$
Answer:
The numbers are:
$x = 3.85

y = 2.25$
