The complement of an angle is 90 minus the angle, or
90 - x = complement angle
if x is 18 more than 3 times it's complement, then
x = 3(complement angle) + 18
We can substitute "90 - x" for the "complement angle" in the second equation:
x = 3(90 - x) + 18
distribute the 3 to the 90 and the x
x = 270 - 3x + 18
add 3x to both sides
4x = 270 - 18
4x = 252
x = 63
the measure of angle x is 63 degrees
Answer:
114°

Answer:
-a^2 + -a + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand the following:
(3 - a) (a + 4)
(3 - a) (a + 4) = (3) (a) + (3) (4) + (-a) (a) + (-a) (4):
-a a + 3 a - 4 a + 3 4
3×4 = 12:
-a a + 3 a - 4 a + 12
-a a = -a^2:
-a^2 + 3 a - 4 a + 12
Grouping like terms, -a^2 + 3 a + 4 (-1) a + 12 = -a^2 + (3 a - 4 a) + 12:
-a^2 + (3 a - 4 a) + 12
3 a - 4 a = -a:
Answer: -a^2 + -a + 12
Answer:
1. 
2. 
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 8 = 4 * 2; 10 = 5 * 2; 18 = 9 * 2....
2. 4 = 1 * 3 + 1; 7 = 2 * 3 + 1; 10 = 3 * 3 + 1....
Answer:
The combined score was 191
Explanation:
91 (Colin’s score) + 9 (how many more Brian had than Colin) = 100 (Brian’s score)
91 (Colin’s score) + 100 (Brian’s score) = 191 (combined score)
