The error is in step 2. if you are performing an operation on one side of the equation, it must be performed on the entire expression. you can’t only divide by 2 on one term, you must do it to everything in the equation. instead, you could add 6 to both sides first, giving you 2x = -4. Then you can divide by 2 on both sides. the answer is -2.
Answer:
y = 110°
Step-by-step explanation:
The inscribed angle CHF is half the measure of its intercepted arc CDF
The 3 arcs in the circle = 360°, thus
arc CDF = 360° - 160° - 60° = 140°, so
∠ CHF = 0.5 × 140° = 70°
∠ CHF and ∠ y are adjacent angles and supplementary, thus
y = 180° - 70° = 110°
To solve this problem we can make a proportion.
6 5
-- = ---
10 x
to solve this proportion we can cross multiply and divide.
5 times 10 is 50. divided by 6 is 8.3
