Answer:

35 and 55 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use n for the number

Angle 1 = 4n+11

Angle 2 = 3n+2

Since it states that these angles are complimentary, they add up to 90 degrees

So we can write an equation using what is given.

Angle 1 + Angle 2 = 90

4n+11+3n+2 = 90

Combine like terms

7n+13 = 90

Subtract 13 from each side

7n = 77

n = 11

Now we plug eleven in for n and solve for the measure of each angle.

Angle 1 = 4(11)+11

Angle 1 = 44+11

Angle 1 = 55

Angle 2 = 3(11)+2

Angle 2 = 33+2

Angle 2 = 35

the combined age of april and laura is 23 years. laura's age is two years more than half of april's age. what is laura's age

Kipish [7]

Laura's age is 9 years.

Solution:

Let x be the age of April.

Laura's age = 2 years more than half of April's age

<u>Convert statement into algebraic expression:</u>

Half of April's age = $\frac{x}{2}$

2 years more than half of April's age = $\frac{x}{2}+2$

Combined age of April and Laura = 23

⇒ April's age + Laura's age = 23

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x+(\frac{x}{2}+2) =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x+\frac{x}{2}+2 =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x}{1}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2}{1} =23$

To add the fractions make the denominators same.

Multiplying 2 on both numerator and denominator of unlike terms, we get

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x\times2}{1\times2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2\times2}{1\times2} =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{4}{2} =23$

Denominators are same, now add the fractions.

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x+x+4}{2} =23$

Do cross multiplication.

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 2x+x+4=23\times2$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=46-4$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=42$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x=14$

Aprils's age = 14 years

Laura's age = $\frac{14}{2}+2$

= 7 + 2

Laura's age = 9

Hence Laura's age is 9 years.
