Answer:

The integers are -3 and -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two consecutive integers are an integer and the one just greater or just less than the4 first one, such as 5 and 6, or -8 and -9.

If the smaller integer is x, then the next greater integer is x + 1.

x + 1 = 4x + 13

-3x = 12

x = -4

x + 1 = -3

Answer: The integers are -3 and -4.

Check:

Smaller integer: -4

Larger integer: -3

4 times smaller integer = 4 * (-4) = -16

13 greater than 4 times smaller = -16 + 13 = -3 = greater integer

-3 and -4 is the correct answer.

The supplement of an angle is 50 less than 3 times its complement, find the measure of the angle

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

$20^{\circ}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are supplements of one another if their sum is $180^{\circ}$ .

Two angles are complements of one another if their sum is $90^{\circ}$ .

Let $x^{\circ}$ be the measure of the angle in question.

The supplement of this angle would be $(180 - x)^{\circ}$ .

The complement of this angle would be $(90 - x)^{\circ}$ .

According to the question:

$(180 - x) + 50 = 3\, (90 - x)$ .

Solve this equation for $x$ :

$x = 20$ .

Thus, this angle would measure should $20^{\circ}$ .

The supplement of this angle would measure $(180 - 20)^{\circ} = 160^{\circ}$ . The complement of this angle would measure $(90 - 20)^{\circ} = 70^{\circ}$ .

Three times the complement of this angle would be $3 \times 70^{\circ} = 210^{\circ}$ , which is indeed $50^{\circ}$ greater than the supplement of this angle.
