Answer:

<h2>The variable is 8/7.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

$\angle C = -x+8\\arcAB=12x$

To solve this problem, we need to use the Inscribed Angle Theorem which states that an angle inscribed in a circle is half of the subtended arc.

Based on this theorem, we have

$\angle C=\frac{1}{2}arcAB$

Replacing each expression

$-x+8=\frac{1}{2}(12x)\\ -x=6x-8\\8=x+6x\\7x=8\\x=\frac{8}{7}$

Therefore, the variable is 8/7.

The rule for this is that the measure in degrees of the inscribed angle is half the measure of the arc in degrees. If angle C measures 8-x and arc AB measures 12x, then the formula to solve for x would be

$8-x=\frac{1}{2}(12x)$ . Simplifying a bit gives us that 8 - x = 6x. Add x to both sides and we have 8 = 7x and x = 8/7.

A collector’s hockey card is purchased in 1990 for $5. The value increases by 6% every year.

e-lub [12.9K]

So if the cars is purchased in 1990 for five dollars and its value increases by 6% each year you would do : 5$ x 6% = .30 cents. And if its 2017 now its value would be a total of: 27 years of a .30 cent increase each year ... 27 x .30 that would be 8.1$ + 5$ = 13.1$ Im sorry if I am wrong on this didnt get much information based on this question

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the series has a fixed gap between entities (terms).

Add the first and the last values and multiplied by the half of number of terms

For example

$\frac{n}{2} (N_{1}+ N_{n})$
