The value of x according to the given task is; 12.

<h3>What is the value of x?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the value of x is to be determined.

Since, lines AB and BC are both tangent to the circle and they both share a point of intersection; it follows that;

5x = 3x +24

  • collect like terms

2x = 24

  • divide both sides by 2

x = 24/2

x = 12.

There are three numbers. The first number is twice the second number. The third number is twice the first number. The sum of the
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

x = 32 y = 16 z = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the 1st number

y is the 2nd number

z is the 3rd number

The first number is twice the second number so

x = 2 y

The third number is twice the first number.

z = 2 x

Their sum is 112

x + y + z = 112

Plus in what we know:

x + y + z = 112

2 y + y + 2x = 112

3y + 2x = 112 Let's solve for y and subtract 2x from each side

3y = 112 - 2x  Divide both sides by 3

y = \frac{112 - 2x}{3}

Now plug our answer back in to solve for x.

x = 2y

x = 2 ( \frac{112 - 2x}{3} )

x = (224 - 4x) / 3    Multiply each side by 3.

3x = 224 - 4x         Add 4x to each side

3x + 4x = 224

7x = 224              Divide each side by 7

7x / 7 = 224 / 7

x = 32

Now we can solve for z.

z = 2x

z = 2 ( 32 )

z = 64

Now we can solve for the numerical value of y.

x + y + z = 112

32 + y + 64 = 112

96 + y = 112       Subtract 96 from each side.

y = 112 - 96

y = 16

Please explain how to find the simplest form of 7/28! I did it in 5th grade but forgot! Explain please.
Lapatulllka [165]
\sf \frac{7}{28} = \frac{7 \times 1}{7\times 4}\\ We~can~divide~by~7~on~both~the~numerator~and~denominator\\\frac{7\times 1\div 7}{7\times 4\div 7} = \frac{1}{4}

So in simplest form it would be 1/4
