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°

Brianna has x nickels and y pennies. She has no less than 20 coins worth no more

Bond [772]

Answer:

$y \ge 20 - x$

$y \le 80 -5x$

$(x,y) = (15,5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Nickels = x$

$Pennies = y$

$Amount = \$0.80$ maximum

$Coins = 20$ minimum

Required

Solve graphically

First, we need to determine the inequalities of the system.

For number of coins, we have:

$x\ +\ y\ge 20$ because the number of coins is not less than 20

For the worth of coins, we have:

$0.05x\ +\ 0.01y\ \le0.80$ because the worth of coins is not more than 0.80

So, we have the following equations:

$x\ +\ y\ge 20$

$0.05x\ +\ 0.01y\ \le0.80$

Make y the subject in both cases:

$y \ge 20 - x$

$0.01y \le 0.80 - 0.05x$

Divide through by 0.01

$\frac{0.01y}{0.01} \le \frac{0.80}{0.01} -\frac{ 0.05x}{0.01}$

$y \le \frac{0.80}{0.01} -\frac{ 0.05x}{0.01}$

$y \le 80 -5x$

The resulting inequalities are:

$y \ge 20 - x$

$y \le 80 -5x$

The two inequalities are plotted on the graph as shown in the attachment.

$y \ge 20 - x$ --- Blue

$y \ge 80 -5x$ --- Green

Point A on the attachment are possible solutions

At A:

$(x,y) = (15,5)$

Find the volume of the cylinder with a diameter of 12 inches and a height of 10

kati45 [8]

Answer:

360 pi in ^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by

V = pi r^2 h

We know the diameter is 12 so the radius is 1/2 the diameter

r = d/2 = 12/2 = 6

V = pi (6)^2 * 10

V = pi (36)*10

V = 360 pi in ^3

We can approximate pi by 3.14

V =1130.4 in ^3

Or we can approximate pi by using the pi button

V =1130.973355 in ^3

Solve each system by elimination.

mixas84 [53]

For eliminating you need to have a variable that cancels the other out and in this case 2x and -2x do. Then you want to take -3y+9y and add the numbers after the equal sign. -9+3
