Answer:
4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
6x-14 = 40
Add 14
6x = 40+14
6x = 54
Divide by 6
6x/6 = 54/6
x = 9
We want 1/2 of the number
1/2 of 9 is 4.5
y - x = 1.
or, y= 1+x
y - 2x = 3.
=>1+x -2x= 3 (substituting the value of y)
=>-x= 2
=>x= -2
y = -2+1 = -1
Therefore, x = -2 and y = -1
Angle B is 48 degrees because complimentary means that they add up to 90 degrees
