The value of the variable x is 3/4

<h3>What are congruent segments</h3>

Congruent segment are segments with equal or congruent lengths.

From the information given, we have that line AB is approximately equal to line BC. This is represented as;

AB = BC

Where;

  • AB = 4x + 7
  • BC = 20x - 7

Now, let's equate the expressions

4x + 7 = 20x - 5

collect like terms

4x - 20x = - 5 - 7

- 16x = - 12

Make 'x' the subject of formula

x = -12/-16

x = 3/4

Thus, the value of the variable x is 3/4

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent segments have the same length, so:

AB= BC \\ \\ 4x+7=20x-5 \\ \\ 12=16x \\ \\ x=3/4

Hello I really needs some help this is algebra
Levart [38]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

5 - 3x = - 10

<em>Subtract 5 from both sides:</em>

5 - 5 - 3x = -10 - 5

-3x = -15

<em>Divide -3 by both sides:</em>

-3x/-3 = -15/-3

x = 5

How to calculate the area of a sector</h3>

A sector is said to be a part of a circle made of the arc of the circle along with its two radii.

The formula for calculating the area of a sector is expressed as;

A = r²β/2

where

r is the radius of the circle

β is the angle subtended

Since the the hour hand travel during 5 hours, the subtended angle by the sector will be;

β = 360/5

β = 72 degrees

Given the following parameters

r = 16/2

r = 8in

Substitute into the formula

A = 8²(72π)/360
A = 40.192in

Therefore the hour hand travels 40.192in in 5 hours
