When you add the two angles together, they should equal 90 degrees (according to the square marker). So, all you have to do is add the two angles together, make them equal to 90, and solve for x.
2x+8+5x-2=90
7x+6=90
7x=84
x=12
Now, we substitute x and solve for the angles.
2x+8
2(12)+8
32 degrees
5x-2
5(12)-2
58 degrees
To double check our answer, we can add the two angles together and see if we get 90.
32+58=90 yes
Our answer is correct
Answer:
The sea lion dives 24 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
A seal (S) dives 15 feet.
A sea lion (SL) dives 6 feet less than 2 times the seal's dive. That can be expressed as:
SL = 2S -6
Since we know S = 15, we can say:
SL = 2*(15) - 6
SL = 24 feet
The sea lion dives 24 feet.
Answer:
X<2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+4<8
subtract 4 from both sides
2x+4-4<8-4
simplify
2x<4
divide both by 2
2x/2<4/2
x<2
J'(4, 0)
F'(5, 2)
N'(5, -1)
You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.
This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.
