Answer:

Michael 24

Noor 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is 4:7

The initial quatity is 4x and 7x

After giving 3 shares the quatities are

4x - 3 and 7x + 3

Set equal to the new ratio

(4x - 3) / (7x + 3) = 7 / 15

Cross multiply

15(4x - 3) = 7(7x + 3)

Distribute

60x - 45 = 49x + 21

Add 45 to both sides

60x = 49x + 66

Subtract 49x from both sides

11x = 66

Divide both sides by 11

x = 6

Therefor

4x = 4*6 = 24 <–––– Michael's initial quantity

7x = 7*6 = 42 <–––– Noor's initial quantity

The supplement of an angle is 3 times the complement of an angle.
-Dominant- [34]
Let’s says that x is the measure of the angle. X and it’s supplement are equal to 180. X and it’s complement are equal to 90. The supplement is s and the complement is c. S is times c which is the same as 3c.

3c + x = 180

C+x = 90
X = 90 - c

3c + 90 - c = 180
2c = 90
C = 45

The complement of. 45 degree angle is 45 degrees.

The angle is 45 degrees.
