Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
3(x - 2) = 2(x + 1)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 3x - 6 = 2x + 2
- Subtract 2x on both sides: x - 6 = 2
- Add 6 to both sides: x = 8
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 3(8 - 2) = 2(8 + 1)
- Subtract/Add: 3(6) = 2(9)
- Multiply: 18 = 18
Here we see that 18 does indeed equal 18.
∴ x = 8 is a solution to the equation.
You simply put 40 over a hundred and 55 over n (which is the number were trying to find) so you do cross multiplication. 55 times a hundred and after you get the answer. You divide it by 40 and should get 137.5.
Answer:
4. 158
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's make things a little simpler and put these arcs in terms of x. We know that the degree measure around the outside of a circle, regardless of its size, is 360. So let's say that arc BC is x. That means that arc BDC is 360 - x. This is because arc BC + arc BDC = 360. Substituting in our x's we have:
x + 360 - x = 360 and
360 = 360. (That's just the proof that putting in our x's as we did does in fact work!)
Following the formula then, we have
and
Multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction and get
44 = 360 - 2x
Subtract 360 rom both sides to get
-316 = -2x
Divide both sides by -2 to get that x = 158
Since we are looking for arc BC and we designated arc BC as our x, that means that arc BC = 158.
