Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using substitution, and fill in the blanks.Josiah has punch c

ards for his favorite tea house and his favorite coffee shop. He currently has 2 punches on the tea punch card and 11 punches on the coffee punch card. Given his regular routine, he consistently earns 7 new punches per week on the tea punch card and 4 on the coffee punch card. Before too long, Josiah will have the same number of punches on each card. How long will that take? How many punches will Josiah have on each card?

Let x be the number of weeks; therefore, the two linear equations are

\begin{gathered} T=2+7x \\ \text{and} \\ C=11+4x \end{gathered}

Where T stands for the punches on the tea punch card and C for the punches on the coffee punch card.

Solving by substitution. Set T=C, then

\begin{gathered} T=C \\ \Rightarrow2+7x=11+4x \\ \Rightarrow3x=9 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{9}{3}=3 \\ \Rightarrow x=3 \end{gathered}

Thus, substitute the value of x=3 into the first equation,

\begin{gathered} x=3 \\ \Rightarrow T=2+7\cdot3=23 \\ \Rightarrow T=23 \end{gathered}

Thus, after 3 weeks, Josiah will have the same number of punches on each card, and he will have 23 punches on each card.

Point F is on circle C. What is the length of line segment GF?
Levart [38]
The answer:
the full question is as follow:
<span>Point F is on circle C. What is the length of line segment GF?

12.5  units
15.0  units
17.5  units
20.0  units

according to the image, GF= GC + CF

CF is the radius of the circle, so it is CF =CE = 7.5
all that we want to find is the value of GC
let's consider the triangle GEC. This is a right triangle, so for finding GC, we can apply Pythagorean theorem

that is, GE² + EC² = GC², and from this, we have GC = sqrt(</span>GE² + EC² )

GC = sqrt(10² + 7.5² )=sqrt(56.25)=12.5
<span>
therefore, </span>GF= GC + CF=12.5 + 7.5 = 20.0
the answer is 20.0  units

What is the measure of ∠x?
Archy [21]

Answer:

114 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there.

Line segment LN is a straight line, meaning that it contains a straight angle (an angle measuring 180 degrees).

We know that if this is a straight angle, that x+66=180.

Therefore, m∠x = 114 degrees.

Hope this helps! :^)
