75% × x = 56 or, 75/100 × x = 56
Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 75,
we have x = 56 × 75/100
x = 74.667
The measures of two angles have a sum of 90º if and only if the angles are complements.
if the angles are complementary they have to equal 90 otherwise they are not complementary
Put the number over each the total that was added then, divide the bottom number to into the top number
Assuming we have parallel lines, we can solve for x.
Since a = 3x - 10 (vertically opposite angles are equal),
3x - 10 = 2x + 15 (alternate angles are equal)
x = 25
Hence, angle a = 3(25) - 10 = 65°
