First, write an equation system for the problem
For example, x represents the first angle and y represents the second angle
An equation for "t<span>he measure of an angle is seventeen times the measure of a complementary angle" is
</span>∴ <span>x = 17y
The sum of complementary angle is 90</span>°. It can be written as<span>
</span>∴ x + y = 90°
<span>
Second, use subtitution method to find the value of x and y
Subtitute x with 17y
x + y = 90</span>°
17y + y = 90°
18y = 90°
y = 90°/18
y = 5°
Subtitute y with 5°
x = 17y
x = 17(5)
x = 85°
The measure of each angle is 5° and 85°
Answer: 411.48 square meter
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
225%
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Divide the new weight by the original weight.
90/40 = 2.25.
2. Multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
2.25 x 100 = 225%
Answer:
7/6
Step-by-step explanation:
7/3÷4/5
7/3×5/4
35/12
Now the multiplication
2/5×35/12
70/60
7/6
Answer:
3rd group of possible answers is the correct set
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of the three points in the 3rd line of possible answers is a solution of the given equation, as can be verified by substitution:
If x = -2, y = -8(-2) = +16
If x = 3, y = -8(3) = -24
If x = -4, y = -8(-4) = +32
