(-1/2)/x = -7/3

*multiply both sides by x

(-1/2) = (-7/3)x

*divide both sides by (-7/3)

(-1/2)/(-7/3) = x

dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by it's reciprocal:

x = (-1/2)*(-3/7)

* the negative SIGNS cancel

x = (1/2)*(3/7)

x = (1*3)/(2*7)

x = 3/14

What is the angle of BTC, Angle TBC,Angle TCB

Goryan [66]

By geometric and algebraic properties the angles BTC, TBC and TBC from the triangle BTC are 128°, 26° and 26°, respectively.

<h3>How to determine the angles of a triangle inscribed in a circle</h3>

According to the figure, the triangle BTC is inscribed in the circle by two points (B, C). In this question we must make use of concepts of diameter and triangles to determine all missing angles.

Since AT and BT represent the radii of the circle, then the triangle ABT is an isosceles triangle. By geometry we know that the sum of internal angles of a triangle equals 180°. Hence, the measure of the angles A and B is 64°.

The angles ATB and BTC are supplmentary and therefore the measure of the latter is 128°. The triangle BTC is also an isosceles triangle and the measure of angles TBC and TCB is 26°.

By geometric and algebraic properties the angles BTC, TBC and TBC from the triangle BTC are 128°, 26° and 26°, respectively.

Bad White [126]

I'm pretty sure the answer is independent because the sex of her other children has nothing to do with the sex of her new baby. I may be wrong though.
