now, notice, there are two valid angles for such a tangent, however, if we look at the complex pair, the "a" is negative and the "b" is positive, that means, "x" is negative and "y" is positive, and that only occurs in the 2nd quadrant, so the angle is in the second quadrant, not on the fourth quadrant.
thus

Answer:
Erich planted 7 seeds ...
he had to remove 17 plants ....
he expected to have less or equal 46 plants ...
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at keywords like remove ~ => which indicates that something is being subtracted
Since x represents seed packets, and the amount he planted is a number multiplied by x, we can deduce he planted 7 seeds ( 7 * x)
So for this problem you know that 15 is 1/4 of an hour so to get the amount of papers each individual could deliver by themselves in an hour you would multiply the amount they can deliver in 15 minutes by 4. Denny delivers 6 so multiplying that by 4 is 24. Next Brendan delivers 5 in 15 minutes so multiplying that by 4 you get 20. The final step is to add 20 and 24 to get the total amount of papers between the two of them that gets delivered in an hour. This will result in your answer of 44.
