Let the measure of its complement be x°.
then, measure of angle = (x + 20)°. and measure of angle = (35 + 20)° = 55°

Answer:

35°

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are complementary if they add to 90 degrees.

Set up your equation;

x+x+20=90

-20=90-20

2x=70

/2=/2

x=35

Therefore, the first angle is 35 degrees, and the second is 55 degrees.

Hope this helps:) Have a good rest of your day!

Mario has a business selling muffins. Let x be the price of a muffin. Then, the profit P for Mario’s business is given by p(x)=-

Rufina [12.5K]

To make a positive profit p(x)>0 we need to make:
$-100 x^{2} +350x-150 \ \textgreater \ 0$

Now we solve this for x:
$-2 x^{2} +7x-3 \ \textgreater \ 0$

We have:
a = -2
b = 7
c = -3

We will use formula for quadratic equation:
$x_{1} = \frac{-b+ \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac } }{2a} \\ \\ x_{2} = \frac{-b- \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac } }{2a} \\ \\ x_{1} = \frac{-7+ \sqrt{ 49-24 } }{-4} = \frac{-7+5 }{-4} = \frac{-2 }{-4} = \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ x_{2} = \frac{-7- \sqrt{ 49-24 } }{-4} = \frac{-7-5 }{-4} = \frac{-12 }{-4} = 3$

We got two solutions. One is fraction other is whole number. We will not consider fraction because the amount of muffins sold must be whole number. So our solution is:
x>3

Ray industries bought a touchscreen monitor for $1200 it is expected to depreciate at a rate of 25% per year what was the value

max2010maxim [7]

So for this problem, we will be using the exponential equation format, which is y = ab^x. The a variable is the initial value, and the b variable is the growth/decay.

Since our touchscreen starts off at a value of 1200, that will be our a variable.

Since the touchscreen is decaying in value by 25%, subtract 0.25 (25% in decimal form) from 1 to get 0.75. 0.75 is going to be your b variable.

In this case, time is our independent variable. Since we want to know the value 3 years from now, 3 is the x variable.

Using our info above, we can solve for y, which is the cost after x years.

$y=1200*0.75^3\\y=506$

In context, after 3 years the touchscreen will only be worth $506.
