3x + x = 180

4x = 180

x = 45

Angle y = 45

Multiply 45 * 3 = 135

<x = 135

we know that

Supplementary angles are those angles whose sum is equal to $180$ degrees

In this problem

$x+y=180$ --------> equation $1$

$x=3y$ --------> equation $2$

Substitute the equation $2$ in equation $1$

$[3y]+y=180$

$4y=180$

$y=45$ °

<u>Find the value of x</u>

$x=3*45$

$x=135$ °

therefore

<u>the answer is </u>

The measure of angle x is $135$ °

16 dollars each because you do 8x5 which equals 40 and do 168-40 which equals 128 / 8 equals 16

Vaselesa [24]

Using a system of equations, it is found that Debbie worked 45 hours during the week.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

Variable x: Amount of hours worked by Juan.

Variable y: Amount of hours worked by Debbie.

Juan and Debbie each earn 9 per hour at their "jobs", and earned a total of 765 for the week, hence:

9x + 9y = 765

Simplifying the expression by 9:

x + y = 85 -> x = 85 - y.

Debbie worked five hours more than juan during the week, hence:

y = x + 5.

Since x = 85 - y, we replace in the expression:

y = 85 - y + 5.

2y = 90.

y = 45.

Debbie worked 45 hours during the week.

Question # 1

Answer:

$\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=-\frac{3}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}$

$=-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}$ ∵ $\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}$

$=-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{1}{4}$ ∵ $\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}5,\:4:\quad 20$

$=-\frac{8}{20}+\frac{5}{20}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{-8+5}{20}$

$\mathrm{Add/Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-8+5=-3$

$=\frac{-3}{20}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{3}{20}$

Therefore,

$\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=-\frac{3}{20}$

Question # 2

Answer:

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=-\frac{5}{28}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}$

$=-\frac{6}{35}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{2}{5}\times \frac{1}{14}$ ∵ $\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}=-\frac{6}{35}$

$=-\frac{6}{35}-\frac{1}{140}$ ∵ $\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=\frac{1}{140}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}35,\:140:\quad 140$

$=-\frac{24}{140}-\frac{1}{140}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{-24-1}{140}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-24-1=-25$

$=\frac{-25}{140}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{25}{140}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:5$

$=-\frac{5}{28}$

Therefore,

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=-\frac{5}{28}$

Choose all that correctly solve for x.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Options: A, B, and C correctly solve for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

A).

$\frac{5}{2} x$ = $\frac{15}{2}$

Multiplying both sides by 2 gives;

5x = 15

x = 15 ÷ 5 = 3

∴ This option correctly solve for x.

B).

x + $\frac{7}{2}$ = 7

x = 7 - $\frac{7}{2}$ = $\frac{14}{2} -\frac{7}{2} = \frac{7}{2}$

∴ This option correctly solve for x.

C).

x + 3 = $\frac{21}{5}$

x = $\frac{21}{5} - \frac{15}{5} = \frac{6}{5}$

But the option give x as 5/6 hence this option does not correctly solve for x.

D).

5x = 11/2

x = 11/2 ÷ 5 = 11/2 × 1/5 = 11/10

But the option gives x as 10/11 so it does not correctly solve for x.
