Angles A and B are complementary. The measure of angle A is yº. What is the measure of angle B?

Mathematics

Answer:

D, (90-y) degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are angles that add up to 90 degrees. Since angle A and angle B are complementary, they add up to 90. Since the value of angle A is y degrees, we can substitute y into the equation to get

y+B=90

To get the measure of angle B, we must isolate B.

To isolate B, we have to remove every term from its side.

The only term on the side that B is on other than B is y. To remove y from the left side, we must subtract y from both sides. Doing this will result in the equation:

B=90-y

The only answer option that meets this criteria is D.

2x+3y=15 x+y=6 find values for x and y
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (3, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract double the second equation from the first.

  (2x +3y) -2(x +y) = (15) -2(6)

  y = 3 . . . . . . . . simplify

Use the second equation to find x.

  x = 6 -y = 6 -3 = 3

The values of x and y are both 3.

Help me pleaseeeeeeeee
topjm [15]

Answer:

x = 6, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sally's age be x and Tomas's age be y.

Sum of Sally's age plus twice Tomas's age: x + 2y = 12

Difference of Sally's age and Tomas's age: x - y = 3

Multiply the second equation by two and add it to the first equation to get

3x = 18, which means x = 6.

Plug 6 in for x in the second equation to get 6 - y = 3, which means y = 3.
