Answer:

The measure of the unknown angle is 15°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent this angle by A. Then the complement of A is 90° - A.

"Angle whose complement is five times its measure" would be expressed as

90° - A = 5A

Solve this for A by adding A to both sides:

90° = 6A. Then A = 90°/6, or 15°

Answer:

-$0.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the expected value of playing the game once

Expected value= [18/(18+18+2) x $5)]- [20/(18+18+2) x $5]

Expected value= ($18/38 x $5) - (20/38 x $5)

Expected value= ($2.37-$2.63)

Expected value= -$0.26

Therefore the expected value of playing the game once is -$0.26

For the Best Brain: fun question: how do I solve y = 10x + 2 when x equals 3

allsm [11]

You would plug in 3 for x, which gives you y = 10(3) + 2, and then you would use PEMDAS, which means you multiply 10 with 3 and then add two which is 32. Therefore y would equal 32. :D :D

(3x+2)∧2=9 how do i solve this in the square root property

Irina18 [472]

$(3x+2)^2=9 \\\\9x^2+12x+4-9=0\\\\9x^2+12x-5=0\\\\a=9,\ \ b=12, \ \ c=-5$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-12-\sqrt{12^2-4 \cdot9 \cdot (-5)}}{2 \cdot 9}=\frac{-12-\sqrt{144+180}}{18}=\\\\=\frac{-12-\sqrt{324}}{18}=\frac{-12-18}{18}=\frac{-30}{18}=-\frac{5}{3}\\\\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-12+\sqrt{12^2-4 \cdot9 \cdot (-5)}}{2 \cdot 9}=\frac{-12+18}{18}=\frac{6}{18}=\frac{1}{3} \\\\Answer: \ x=-\frac{5}{3}\ \ and \ \ x=\frac{1}{3}$
