Answer:

10 and 170 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the angle is x degrees then its supplementary angle = 180-x degrees.

So x + 17x = 180

18x = 180

x = 10 degrees.

Answer:

The measure of each angle will be 10° and 170°.

Step-by-step explanation:

A supplementary angle refers to an angle that has the sum to be equal to 180°.

Let the small angle be represented by x

Therefore, the big angle will be: = 17 × x = 17x

Therefore, the value of both angles will be:

x + 17x = 180

18x = 180

Divide both side by 18

18x/18 = 180/18

x = 10

Therefore, the bigger angle will be:

17x = 17 × 10 = 170

Therefore, the angles are 10° and 170°

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What you are doing is removing the brackets. That shows up as multiplying both terms inside the brackets by the factor outside the brackets (2).

This is a classic example of the distributive property.

Kini and Duke are each working during the summer to earn money in addition to their weekly allowance, and they are saving all of

postnew [5]

Answer:

6hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to put the information given to us about the money they earn into an expression

let x represent the number of hours Kini and Duke work and y represent the total amount of money they earn in a week.

y(kini) = 9x + 8

y(duke) = 7.5x + 17

Now we subtract the x values and the constant values

9x - 7.5x = 1.5x

17 - 8 = 9

Make these into an equation

1.5x = 9

Divide both sides by 1.5 so x(the number of hours the both work) can stand alone.

$\frac{1.5x}{1.5}= \frac{9}{1.5}$

x = 6 hrs

Simplify. Write your answer with a positive exponent. <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%285q%5E4%29%5E3" id="TexFormula1

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

5q^7

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying exponents(if positive), you must add them together. So, (5q^4)³ will be 5q^7 because the exponents were positive and they were multiplying so you add them together and leave the variable and number 5 alone.

Hope this helps! :)

Solve 7x - c=k for x

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

$x = \frac{c+k}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We'd add c in both sides

7x = c + k

Divide 7 in both sides isolate the variable

7x/7 = x

c+k/7

x = c + k/7

Our answer is x = c+k/7
