Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary means they add up to 90°

So add the angles up and set them equal to 90°

3x - 4 + 5x + 6 = 90

ADD the x's

8x - 4 + 6 = 90

COMBINE the -4 and 6

8x +2 = 90

SUBTRACT 2 from both sides.

8x = 88

DIVIDE by 8 on both sides.

8x/8 = 88/8

x = 11

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are the angles which are added up to 90°.

As, the given angles are complementary,

(3x - 4) + ( 5x + 6 ) = 90

Now solve for x.

(3x - 4) + ( 5x + 6 ) = 90

3x - 4 + 5x + 6 = 90

8x -4 + 6 = 90

8x + 2 = 90

8x = 90 - 2

8x = 88

Divide both sides by 8.

x = 11

Hope this helps you :-)

Answer:

A. 25%

25% is equivalent to 1/4 and when you multiply 75 by 4 you get 300. Which means 75 is equivalent to 1/4 and 1/4 is equivalent to 25%. So the answer is 25%. I'm so sorry if this explanation is bad

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = –2x + 5 and contains the point
ivann1987 [24]

The given equation is: y+2x=5

To find the line perpendicular to it, we interchange coefficients and switch the signs of one coefficient.

The equation to a line perpendicular to it is:

$ 2y-x=c$

where, $c$ is some constant we have determine using the condition given.

It passes through $(2,-1)$

Put the point in our equation:

$2(-1)-(2)=c$

$c=-2-2$

$c=-4$

The final equation is:

$\boxed{ 2y-x=-4}$

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line x=-2 and passes through the point (-5, 4)?
slava [35]

y = 4

because the original is a vertical, you need a horizontal line and the point it goes through is (-5,4)  so it has to be y = 4
