Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Arc LM = 13x - 10
Arc MN = 7x - 10
Required:
Solve for x
Solution:
Recall: half a circle = 180°
Therefore,
Arc LM + Arc MN = 180°
13x - 10 + 7x - 10 = 180
Add like terms
20x - 20 = 180
20x - 20 + 20 = 180 + 20
20x = 200
20x/20 = 200/20
x = 10
It
is given that the two figures are similar. This means that mV is equal to mN,
mW is equal to mO, and mX is equal to mP. The sum of the angles of a triangle
is equal to 180 degrees.
<span> mV + mW + mX = 180</span>
Substituting
the known variables and the conditions given in the description of the similar
triangles,
<span> 44 + mW + 66 = 180</span>
<span>The
value of mW in the equation is 70 degrees. </span>
Let’s put these into one fraction each:
Biking:
= (12*5)/8 miles
= 60/8 miles
This can be reduced to,
= 15/2 miles
Swimming:
= (5*2)/3 miles
= 10/3 miles
Running:
= (6*3)/8 miles
= 18/8 miles
This can be reduced to,
= 9/4
Now we add all the distances up:
= (15/2) + (10/3) + (9/4)
Now we just can add the numerators and the denominators. We must find the lowest common factor (LCF) for our 3 denominators (2,3,4). Our LCF turns out to be 12. *Remember what we do to the denominator we must do to the numerator. So:
= (15/2) + (10/3) + (9/4)
= [(15*6)/12] + [(10*4)/12] + [(9*3)/12]
= (90/12) + (40/12) + (27/12)
= (157/12)
Therefore Aaron Ran 157/12 miles or 13.08 miles.
Hope this helps!
I believe it is the first one. A.
Answer:
−40+2n=−4n+8
−40+2n+40=−4n+8+40
2n=−4n+48
