Answer:
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
x = Number of gold coins in a chest
1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain
1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally
3 = Number of gold coins left
2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?
Let's write the following equation to solve for x:
1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x
2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)
4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)
x = 12
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>

Answer:
The measure of the unknown angle is 15°.
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent this angle by A. Then the complement of A is 90° - A.
"Angle whose complement is five times its measure" would be expressed as
90° - A = 5A
Solve this for A by adding A to both sides:
90° = 6A. Then A = 90°/6, or 15°
