Given: m∠A + m∠B = 90° (Definition of Complementary Angles).
Given: m∠B = (5x + 8)°
A) m∠A = 180° + (5x + 8) is your answer choice:
Why it isn't the others:
B) m∠A = 90° - (5x + 8)
You are solving for complementary angles (90° in total when combined), so you subtract the measurement for B (5x + 8) to get A.
C) m∠A = 180° - 2(5x + 8)°
You double the complementary angle to solve for the supplementary. Essentially, just divide this answer by two to get the complementary angles.
D) m∠A = 82 - 5x
I was confused by this one, but essentially they just did one step of the isolating the variable, which was subtracting 8 from both sides. They did not finish isolating the variable however.
Answer: 1/2 of a chance to roll a odd number.
Step-by-step explanation:
On a six sided die the odd numbers are 1,3, and 5. So that would be 3/6 and then simplified is 1/2
Answer:
5 and 1/3 cups of soil
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello there, in this problem we can solve for the amount of soil that Katie will need by multiplying the factor for one of them by the number of pots we have, 8. We get 16/3 cups of soil, or 5 and 1/3 cups of soil.
Hope this helps!
