Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
In both questions you want to get the x alone.
1.
-3x + (-6) = 9
First you want to add 6 to both sides so you'll be left with:
-3x = 15
Next, you want to divide both sides by -3 and you'll get:
x = -5
2.
-4x + (-12) = 8
You want to do the same thing as the first one so you'll add 12 to both sides:
-4x = 20
Then, you will divide both sides by -4 and get:
x = -5
Answer:
Sydney is 44 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Make a system of equations
</u>
d = s - 15
<em>d + s = 73
</em>
<u>Step 2: Plug in s - 15 for d in the second equation and solve
</u>
s - 15 + s = 73
2s - 15 = 73 + 15
2s / 2= 88 / 2
<em>s = 44
</em>
Answer: Sydney is 44 years old
Complementary means that the two angles sum to 90 degrees.
So based on the problem, let:
1st angle=5x+6
2nd angle=x
Now create an equation.
x+5x+6=90
6x=84
x=14
5x+6=76
answer: 14 degrees and 76 degrees
