Answer:

x=20 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

complementary means the angles equal 90 degrees

so ∠A+∠B=90 degrees

∠A=3x-2 and ∠B=x+12

so subsitute

(3x-2)+(x+12)=90

then solve for x

4x+10=90

4x=80

x=20 degrees is your answer

Heather sees that two stores have similar sales. Store A says that 5 balloons will cost her $6.00 and store B says that 13 ballo

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Store A and it would cost $32.40 (answer choice A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by studying how much she would pay for a single balloon on each store:

In store A: (5 balloons for $6) then per each balloon: $6/5 = $1.2 per balloon.

In store BA: (13 balloons for $16.25) then per each balloon: $16.25/13 = $1.25 per balloon.

This shows us that the better price is in store A if she wants to pay as little as possible. Now, at that price, if she wants to buy 27 balloons, she will be paying (27 times $1.2): 27 * $1.2 = $32.40

Enter a range of values of x

igomit [66]

Answer:

$-5$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if two corresponding sides of two triangles are equal, then third sides of the triangles depend on angle between equal sides.

Angle opposite to larger side is larger.

Since, 14 < 15, therefore

$2x+10$

$2x$

$x$ ...(1)

We know that, angle can not not negative.

$2x+10>0$

$2x>-10$

$x>-5$ ...(2)

From (1) and (2), we get

$-5$

Therefore, the range of values of x is $-5$ .
