Recall that two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°. Find the measures of two complementary angles if o

Answer:

18° and 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle measures are unknown, so they will be represented with the variable, x.  Since, one angle is 4 times the other, this will be represented with 4x.

To find complementary angles, they are added together and equal 90. So let's create an equation.

x + 4x = 90

Now solve for x.

5x = 90

5x/5 = 90/5

x = 18

One angle is 18°.

Now find the second angle.

4x

plugin 18 for x and multiply

4(18) = 72

London Heathrow airport see on average 191,200 passengers a day how many passengers is this per minute. I need to show the steps
maw [93]
First you have to ask, how many minutes are in a day?
There are 60 minutes in a hour, and 24 hours a day. You would multiply these two to find how many minutes are in a day.

24×60=1440 minutes in a day.

Now to find how many passages a minute, divide the total number of passangers, by the number of minutes.
191,200÷1440=132.7778

Even though the 7 is bigger than a 5, you do not round up because it doesn't count as a full person.
132 people a minute is your answer.

I dont understand what I'm supposed to do
marissa [1.9K]

Your suppose to take the order pair you got and subsitute it in both of the equations. The chart has the y and x on one side and a number on the other. Treat it like an algebraic equation and try to see if when you subsitute the x and y with the order pair given you get the number on the other side of the equation. For example x + 3y = 6 once subsituted with the order pair looks like 3 + 3(1) = 6. From there you do one step at time until finally you get 6 = 6 which tells you that (3,1) is a solution for this equation. Now you have to find out if the ordered pair works for both of the equations not just one since it said "given system". Hope I explained it clearly enough :)
