Let x be the distance from Syracuse where they pass. The first car travels a distance of x in time x/65 while the second car travels a distance 240-x in time (240-x)/55. They pass at the same time after leaving their starting points so x/65=(240-x)/55.
Cross-multiplying we get: 55x=65(240-x)=15600-65x, 120x=15600, x=15600/120=130 miles.
They pass 130 miles from Syracuse.

One geometry question <br> Please help me with this!!!!
otez555 [7]

Answer:

∠ XAZ = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the circle = 360°

Given arc XYZ = 230°, then

arc XZ = 360° - 230° = 130°

The tangent- tangent angle XAZ is one half the difference of the intercepted arcs, that is

∠ XAZ = \frac{1}{2} (230 - 130)° = 0.5 × 100° = 50°

Im so confused! Can someone help me? I need to find the value of the variable and the measures of the angles.....
nikdorinn [45]
Hello there! I can help you! So what we are looking for is the value of x. To find the value of x, we can write and solve an equation. Set it up like this:

4x + 28 = 180

This is because the sum of the angles for a triangle is 180°. We combine the like terms to get 4x and subtract 6 from 34 to get 28. First off, let's subtract 28 from both sides. 28 - 28 cancel out. 180 - 28 is 152. That simplifies into 4x = 152. Now, divide each side by 4 to isolate the x. 4x/4 cancels out. 152/4 is 38. There's a possible value of x. Let's plug the value in and see if it works. 38 * 2 is 76. 76 - 6 is 70. 38 + 34 is 72. 70 + 72 is 142 and 142 + 38 is 180. 180 = 180. There. x = 38. Here are the answers for the angle measurements:

(x + 34) = 72°
(2x - 6) = 70°
x° = 38°
