Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Oliver's number be x.

He multiplies it by 5:

x * 5 = 5x

He then subtracts 26:

5x - 26

Then, he divides by 6:

\frac{5x - 26}{6}  

He then multiplies his original number by 3, and gets the same answer.

This implies that:

\frac{5x - 26}{6} = 3x

Let us simplify this:

\frac{5x - 26}{6} = 3x\\\\5x - 26 = 3x * 6\\\\5x - 26 = 18x

Collecting like terms:

5x - 18x = 26\\\\-13x = 26\\\\=> x = \frac{26}{-13}\\\\x = -2

Oliver's number is -2.

What is the arc measure of major arc AC on circle P in degrees
andreyandreev [35.5K]

An arc is a segment of a circle. An arc measure is the measure of an angle that the arc creates in the center of a circle, while an arc length is the span of the arc. This measure can be given in degrees or radians. We can easily convert between the two using the fact that pi radians = 180 degrees.
