The measure of a central angle is equal to measure of a minor arc. That makes m<GEH=17x+12. By the Vertical Angles Theorem, m<GEH and m<IEF are equal to each other (m<GEH=17x+12=m<IEF). By the same theorem, m<FEG and m<IEH are also equal (m<FEG=8x-7=m<IEH). The angles in a circle must all add up to 360 degrees, 2(17x+12)+2(8x-7)=360. Solve for x, then plug x into the equation for m<IEF.
Hope this helps!

A washer and dryer cost $869 combined. The washer cost $81 less than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?

marysya [2.9K]

W+d=869
w=d-81
plug in
(d-81)+d=869
2d-81=869
+81 both sides
2d=950
÷2 both sides
d=475
dryer cost $475

let's check w=475-81
w=394
475+394=869
869=869
the solution is true :)

Function 1 is defined by the equation y=2x+10

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

C. The functions have the same y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

In slope intercept form, y = mx + b, b represents the y-intercept, and in the first function the y-intercept is 10.

The y-intercept is when x = 0, and in the chart, when x equals 0, y equals 10.

10 = 10, so they have the same y-intercept.

A 10 2/3 inch long pipe is cut into 8 equal length pieces, how long is each piece

storchak [24]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{3}$ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of pipe is 10 2/3rd inches

It is cut into 8 equal pieces

We need to divide total length by 8 to get length of each piece. First, we have to convert mixed number (total length) to improper fraction by using formula shown below:

$a\frac{b}{c}=\frac{(a*c)+b}{c}$
