Answer:

m∠A = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary Angles add up to 90°

Step 1: Set up equation

8x + 20 + 7x - 5 = 90

Step 2: Solve for x

15x + 15 = 90

15x = 75

x = 5

Step 3: Find m∠A

m∠A = 8x + 20

m∠A = 8(5) + 20

m∠A = 40 + 20

m∠A = 60°

The correct answer is: 
green and blue.

Explanation: 
We want to see which fractions $\frac{3}{4}$ is a multiple of. We know that $\frac{3}{4}$ is a multiple of $\frac{1}{4}$ , because $\frac{1}{4}$ *3= $\frac{3}{4}$ .

We can divide fractions to determine if $\frac{3}{4}$ is a multiple of $\frac{1}{2}$ :
$\frac{ \frac{3}{4}}{ \frac{1}{2}}$ ;

in order to divide fractions, flip the second one and multiply:
$\frac{3}{4}$ )* $\frac{2}{1}$ = $\frac{6}{4}$ =1 $\frac{1}{2}$ .
This did not divide evenly, so $\frac{3}{4}$ is not a multiple of 1/2.

Checking to see if $\frac{3}{4}$ is a multiple of $\frac{1}{8}$ , $\frac{ \frac{3}{4}}{ \frac{1}{8}}$ ;

flip the second one and multiply:
$\frac{3}{4}$ * $\frac{8}{1}$ = $\frac{24}{4}$ =6.
This divided evenly, so $\frac{3}{4}$ is a multiple of $\frac{1}{8}$ .

Answer:

y = -5x + 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

m is the slope and b is the y intercept. m= -5 so -5 is the slope and b= 4/3 so 4/3 is the y intercept.

You have 2 equations that are both equal to y. If they are both equal to y, then by the transitive property of equality, they are equal to each other (if a = b, and b = c, then a = c).
5x - 17 = x + 3 and
4x = 20 and x = 5. Now sub in that x value of 5 to solve for y:
y = 5 + 3 and y = 8. So the ordered pair is (5, 8)
