Answer:

<h2><u><em>80</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-12 increased by half of a number is 28. What is the number?

-12 + 1/2x = 28

1/2x = 28 + 12

1/2x = 40

x = 40 * 2

x = 80

----------------------

check

-12+ 1/2 * 80 = 28

-12 + 40 = 28

28 = 28

this answer and the other answer are good

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

28-28=0

0-12= -12

28+12 = 40

28-40 = -12

40 is the increase

40 is half of 80

So, the answer is 80

To check: -12 + 40 (half of a number; 80) = 28

Hope this makes sense. If you require further information, do not hesitate to ask!

Can someone help me and explain what to do here?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

 ∠STU = 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle with vertex T is called an "inscribed angle." It intercepts arc SU. The relationship you are asked to remember is that the measure of the inscribed angle (T) is half the measure of the arc SU.

Point V is taken to be the center of the circle. The angle with vertex V is called a "central angle." It also intercepts arc SU. The relationship you are asked to remember is that the measure of the central angle (V) is equal to the measure of arc SU.

__

Using these two relationships together, we realize angle V is twice the measure of angle T:

  ∠SVU = 2×∠STU

  18x +12° = 2(18x -57°) . . . . . . relationship between the marked angles

  18x +12° = 36x -114° . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  126° = 18x . . . . . . . . . . . add 114°-18x

  ∠STU = 18x -57° = 126° -57°

 ∠STU = 69°

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You may notice we did not solve for x. We only needed to know the value of 18x, so we stopped when we found that value. (Actually, we only need the value of 18x-57°. See below.)

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>:

  (18x +12°) -(18x -57°) = 18x -57° . . . . . . . subtract 18x -57° from both sides of the first equation.

  69° = 18x -57° . . . . . simplify. This is the answer to the problem.
