Answer:

<em>The measure of the angles is 45° and 135°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines intersect, a linear pair of angles is formed. Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.

Let's call x and y the two required angles. Knowing they form a linear pair:

x+y=180

We also know one angle is 1/3 of the other angle, thus:

x=y/3

Or, equivalently:

3x=y

Substituting y into the first equation:

x+3x=180

Simplifying:

4x=180

Solving:

x=180/4=45

The other angle is:

y=3x=3\cdot 45=135

Thus the measure of the angles is 45° and 135°

Well, from what you’ve posted, it seems that a negative value cannot be accepted since that would imply she has gone underwater. She also cannot go above 300 feet since she is going downwards from a max height.

Peter buys tickets for his family to see his favorite movie, Elephant Mistake. He pays $37.50 for 2 adult tickets and 2 student
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

the price of adult ticket and student ticket be $10.50 and $8.25 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the price of adult ticket be x

And, the price of student ticket be y

Now according to the question

2x + 2y = $37.50

x + 3y = $35.25

x = $35.25 - 3y

Put the value of x in the first equation

2($35.25 - 3y) + 2y = $37.50

$70.50 - 6y + 2y = $37.50

-4y = $37.50 - $70.50

-4y = -$33

y = $8.25

Now x = $35.25 - 3($8.25)

= $10.5

Hence, the price of adult ticket and student ticket be $10.50 and $8.25 respectively
