The angles are complementary meaning they =90 degrees.
So take (x-20) and x, and write this equation,
x-20+x=90
2x-20=90
move the 20 over
2x-20=90
+20 +20
2x=110
x=55.
You can check it by plugging it back in,
(55-20)=35
and
x=55
35+55=90.
Thus, you know your answer is correct.
X + 2 1/2 - 3/4 = 5 1/4 To find x, go backwards in the equation.
5 1/4 + 3/4 = 6 cups
6 - 2 1/2 = 3 1/2 cups
x = 3 1/2 cups
Answer:
L=3w+2...L+w=40... 4w+2=40...w=3/5 and L=30/5
Top left and bottom left are correct, the other two are not x
105 because 4*18+33 equals 105
