This one is just sort of confusing me.
I feel like a retard :c.
The measure of a supplement of an angle is 12 degrees greater than three times the measure of a complement. Find the measure of the angle.

Complimentary angles are 90 degrees.
Supplementary angles are 180.
Im too tired to figure the rest.

supplementary should be 180 degrees... complementary is 90.
so
x = 12+ (3 (90-x)
should be right. double check because I'm not too sure about it.

Man, I am glad you are here right now, Ricardo. lol.
Sorry if this is a little pestering, but could you help me with another?
The degree measures of the angles of a pentagon are consecutive even integers. Find the measure of the largest angle. (Hint: The sum of the measures of the angles of a pentagon is 540 degrees.)

consecutive even integers.
540/5 bro.
108
that's the average of those 5 degree measurements.
112
check:
112 + 108 + 110 + 106 + 104
You'll be doing this type of problem on the SAT, no doubt.

Yeah, I really don't know how that just happened, but thanks.
I guess I'm a little tired or something 3: .

Practice more.
Don't expect to be able to do this during the actual algebra course. Somehow by the time it ends, you'll be able to do these really easily.
I passed all math classes in my school with a 65 or somewhere around that.

It seems like I get every other two or three questions, then I get stumped.
If you're still on:
Elisa walked a certain distance at 5 mph, then jogged twice that distance at 8 mph. her total time walking/jogging was 2 h and 15 min. How many miles long was the walkathon?
(Hint: time = distance/rate)

x = [ -b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a
memorize this, you'll need it.

15 Miles, yo.
Walked for five miles in one hour, leaving an hour and 15 minutes for jogging.
8*1.25=10 miles
