Answer:

a = 12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark is 6 years older than his brother Sam. Now, we are asked to represent Sam’s age by a. This means that if Sam is a years old, Mark is (a + 6) years old.

The sum of their ages is 30, this means that when we add their ages together, we get the sum of thirty.

Mathematically this means a + a + 6 = 30

2a + 6 = 30

This is the equation needed to get a. To get a , we proceed to solve the equation to completion.

2a = 30 - 6

2a = 24

a = 24/2

a = 12

suppose A and B are complementary angles, m a =(3x+5) and m b= (2x-15). Solve for x and then find m a and m b
vlada-n [284]
2 angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°.

For example  if m(P) = 41°  and m(Q)=49°, then P and Q are complementary.


Thus A and B are complementary means that m(A)=m(B)=90°:

(3x+5°) + (2x-15°) =90°

5x-10°=90°

5x=100°

x=20°



Thus 

m(A)=3x+5°=3* 20°+5°=60°+5°=65°

m(B)=2x-15°=2*20°-15°=40°-15°=25°

Let x = amount of sales (in dollars)

The salary is $400 and there's an additional 0.06x dollars added on to get to the goal of 790. The equation is therefore

<span>400+0.06x = 790
</span>
Let's solve for x

400+0.06x = 790
<span>400+0.06x-400 = 790-400
</span>0.06x = 390
0.06x/0.06 = 390/0.06
x = 6500

The final answer is 6500

This means he must have $6,500 in sales.
