X+87°+2x degrees i need to solve for angle 2x
Answers
Answer:
62
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 87 and 2x are linear pair angles.
Sum of linear pair angles is 180,
x + 87 + 2x = 180
x + 2x + 87 = 180
3x + 87 = 180
3x = 180 - 87
3x = 93
x = 93 / 3
x = 31
2x
= 2 * 31
= 62
since the two angles added together would make 180°, the equation should look like this:
x + 87 + 2x = 180
Combine like terms (aka just add the two variables together)
x is equivalent to one, so 1x + 2x = 3x.
3x + 87 = 180
Subtract by 87 on both sides.
3x + 87 - 87 = 180 - 87
87-87=0, 180- 87 = 93, so this leaves the equation like this
3x = 93
Now divide by 3 on both sides.
3x / 3 = 93 / 3
3/3 = 1x, which can just be written as x, and 93/3 = 31
x = 31
You can check if this is correct by replacing x with 31, then adding the two angles together to see if they equal 180°.
31 + 87 = 118
2 * 31 = 62
118 + 62 = 180°

80. Air Conditioning The yearly profit p of Arnold's Air Con-
ditioning is given by p = x² + 15x - 100, where x is the
number of air conditioners produced and sold. How many
air conditioners must be produced and sold to have a
yearly profit of $45,000?
Answers
205 air conditioners must be produced and sold to have a yearly profit of $45,000.
As per the relation representing p and x, x is the number of air conditioners so p must be the profit. Keep the value of profit to find the value of x.
45000 = x² + 15x - 100
Shifting 100 to Left Hand Side of the equation
45000 + 100 = x² + 15x
Performing addition on Left Hand Side of the equation
45100 = x² + 15x
Rearranging the equation
x² + 15x - 45100 = 0
Factorising the equation to find the value of x
x² + 220x - 205x - 45100 = 0
x(x + 220) -205 (x + 220) = 0
(x - 205) (x + 220) = 0
x = 205, - 220
The number of air conditioners produced and sold can not be negative. So, the value of x and hence the number of air conditioners is 205.

The linear regression equation is y = 15430.5034 + 301.2586x .
What is the substitution method?The algebraic technique for resolving multiple linear equations at once is called the substitution method. As the name implies, this method involves substituting a variable's value from one equation into another. The first stage in the substitution approach is to determine any variable's value in terms of the other variable from one equation. If there are two equations, x + y=7 and x - y=8, for instance, we can deduce from the first equation that x=7-y. The substitution approach is applied in this manner as the first stage. There are three steps in the substitution technique: For each variable, solve a single equation. Solve the other equation by substituting (plugging in) this expression. Find the corresponding variable by substituting the value back into the original equation.

In the given question, it is stated that A is a given matrix. We have to find out the values of A³. This can be done by product of A*A*A. The product should follow the properties of the Matrix. First, we will find out the value of A². So calculating, we get:
=> [tex]A^{2} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5&-1\\0&1\end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5&-1\\0&1\end{array}\right][/tex]
=> [tex]A^{2} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-25+0 &1 -1\\0+0&0 + 1\end{array}\right][/tex]
=> [tex]A^{2} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-25 &0\\0&1\end{array}\right][/tex]
Now we will calculate the value of A³. We can calculate the value of A³ by using the values of A² because we know that A³ = A².A. So, after calculating we get:
=> [tex]A^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-25&0\\0&1\end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5&-1\\0&1\end{array}\right][/tex]

How many combinations does the stall sell?
Answers
The pancakes stall sells total 12 combinations of pancakes.
What is Combination?
Combinations are mathematical operations that count the number of potential permutations for a set of elements when the order of the selection is irrelevant.
According to the given data:
Savory pancakes can have 3 toppings in any combination.
Therefore, total number of savory pancake combinations = 3 x 2 x 1 = 6
For sweet pancakes jams can either have ice cream or fresh cream.
Therefore combinations with ice cream = 3
And combinations with fresh cream = 3
Hence total combinations for sweet pancakes = 3 + 3 = 6
Now, total pancakes combination = 6 + 6 = 12
So, the stall sells 12 combinations of pancakes.

The most appropriate choice for maxima and minima of a function will be given by
Rectangle of length 72 feet and breadth 36 feet has largest area
What is maxima and minima?
Maxima of function f(x) is the maximum value of the function and minima of function f(x) is the minimum value of the function.
Here,
Let the length be x feet and breadth be y feet
The farmer has 144 feet of fencing
Three of the sides will require fencing and the fourth wall already exists.
So,
x + y + y =1 44
x + 2y = 144
Area of rectangle(A) = xy [tex]ft^2[/tex]
= (144 - 2y)y
= [tex]144y - 2y^2[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dA}{dy} = \frac{d}{dy}(144y - 2y^2)[/tex]
= [tex]144 - 2\times 2y^{2-1}\\144 - 4y[/tex]
For largest area,
[tex]\frac{dA}{dy} = 0[/tex]
[tex]144 - 4y = 0 \\4y = 144\\y = \frac{144}{4}\\y = 36[/tex]
[tex]\frac{d^2A}{dy^2} = \frac{d}{dy}(144 - 4y)\\=0-4\\=-4 < 0[/tex]
Hence area is maximum
For largest area, y = 36 feet
[tex]x = 144 - 2\times 36\\x = 144-72\\[/tex]

The point of intersection is a point where the value of both functions will be the same thus the point of intersection of the lines y = −10x − 3 and −y = 11x + 5 is at (-2,17).
What is a linear function?A straight line on the coordinate plane is represented by a linear function.
A linear function always has the same and constant slope.
The formula for a linear function is f(x) = ax + b, where a and b are real values.
As per the given lines,
y = −10x − 3
−y = 11x + 5 → y = -11x - 5
The value of the function at the point of intersection is always the same.
So,
−10x − 3 = -11x - 5
-10x + 11x = -5 + 3
x = -2
So,y = -10(-2) - 3 = 17
Hence "The point of intersection is a point where the value of both functions will be the same thus the point of intersection of the lines y = −10x − 3 and −y = 11x + 5 is at (-2,17)".

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{circumference= 2}\pi\text{r}^2 \\ =2\times3.14\times5^2 \\ =157\text{ fe}etsquare \end{gathered}[/tex]Mike can be paid in one of two ways based on the amount of merchandise he sells:Plan A: A salary of $850.00 per month, plus a commission of 10% of sales, ORPlan B: A salary of $1,050.00 per month, plus a commission of 14% of sales in excess of $7,000.00.For what amount of monthly sales is plan B better than plan A if we can assume that Mike's sales are always more than $7,000.00Write your answer an an inequality involving x, where a represents the total monthly sales.

We are looking for the point at which the compensation from Plan A is less than the compensation from Plan B.
Plan A = 850 +0.1x
Plan B= 1050+(x-7000)(0.14)
Plan A < Plan B
850 +0.1x <1050+(x-7000)(0.14)
then we sill simplify
850+0.1x < 1050+0.14x-980
850+0.1x<70+0.14x
then we isolate the x
0.1x-0.14x<70-850
-0.04x<-780
x>-780/-0.04
x>19500
In this case the monthly sales x need to be greater than 19500 (x>19500), in order that Plan B were better than plan A.

We have the following:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x+6=4x+7 \\ 3x=4x+7-6 \\ 3x=4x+1 \\ 3x-1=4x \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore:
3x+6=4x+7 //// = //// 3x-1=4x
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3\mleft(x+6\mright)=4x+7 \\ 3x+18=4x+7 \end{gathered}[/tex]3(x+6)=4x+7 //// = //// 3x+18=4x+7
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x+3x=7-6 \\ 7x=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]4x+3x=7-6 //// = //// 7x=1
