** STUDENT SOLUTION:

The intersection of the two rays consists of the elements common to both sets, which would be MO.

However, a union symbol is used in the question and a union is composed of all the elements found in atleast one of the two sets, which would also be MO. **

**** query 9.1.60 5x - 129 vert with 2x - 1 **** What is the value of x and how did you obtain it?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

5x - 129 = 2x - 21

3x = 108

x = 36

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

14:01:26

*&*& Starting with 5x - 129 = 2x - 21 to get

3x - 129 = -21. Add 129 to both sides to get

3x = 108. Divide both sides by 3 to get

x = 36.

To check substitute 36 in for x in the equation and simplify, getting 51 = 51.

RESPONSE -->

ok

......!!!!!!!!...................................

14:02:32

**** What equation did you solve to obtain x, and how did you get the equation?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

5x - 129 = 2x -21

This equation can be found by using the rule that vertical angles are equivalent.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

14:02:41

Since the angles are vertical angles, they are equal to eachother, therefore, I set them up to be equal to eachother and then solved.To check myself, I then substituted my answer in for x on both sides of the equation to make sure they were equal.

**** query 9.1.72 complement 10 deg less that 1/5 of suppl **** What is the measure of the angle and how did you get it?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

(180 - x) + (90 - x) = 210

270 - 2x = 210

-2x = -60

x = 30

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

14:05:08

** Let x be the degree measure of the angle. Then the supplement is 180 ?x; 10 deg less than 1/5 the supplement is 1/5(180 - x) ?10. The complement is 90 - x.

So the equation is

90 - x = 1/5(180 - x) ?10. Multiplying both sides by 5 we get

450 ?5 x = 180 ?x ?50 so that

450 ?5 x = 130 ?x. Adding x ?450 to both sides we get

-4x = -320 so thatx = 80.

The complement of 80 deg is 10 deg.

The supplement of 80 deg is 100 deg; 1/5 the supplement is 1/5 * 100 deg = 20 deg, so the complement 10 deg is 10 deg less than the supplement 20 deg. **

**** What equation did you solve to obtain the measure of the angle?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

(180 -x) + (90 - x)

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

14:05:32

Student Response: I determined which equations represented the degree measure of the angle, complement, and supplement. I then substituted those in the equation using the worded problem.

90 - x (complement) = 10 (10 less than) - 1/5 (1/5 of the supplement) 180 - x (supplement).
