The two do not save money at the same rate, because if you make common denominators of 20, Anna saves 6 dollars for every 20, while Patrick only saves 5 dollars for every twenty earned. So, Anna ends up saving more than Patrick.
Answer: 77.05
Step-by-step explanation: 1) Draw a right triangle with these measures:
angle with the horizontal: 6 degress
horizontal segment: 5
height: x
2) Definition of tangent : tan(6°) = opposite leg / adjacent leg = x / 5 =>
3) Solve for
x = 5tan(6°) = 77.05
X = unknown number
10x - 16 = 2x
Subtract 10x from both sides to isolate the variable on the right side of the equation.
-16 = -8x
Divide both sides by -8 to get x alone.
2 = x
Answer: ∠1 = 109° ∠2 = 71°
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
If the two angles form a linear pair, then their sum is 180°
∠1 + ∠2 = 180°
(5x + 9) + (3x + 11) = 180
8x + 20 = 180
8x = 160
x = 20
∠1 = 5x + 9
= 5(20) + 9
= 100 + 9
= 109
∠2 = 3x + 11
= 3(20) + 11
= 60 + 11
= 71
<u> CHECK:</u>
∠1 + ∠2 = 180°
109° + 71° = 180°
180° = 180°
