Given, arc QR is congruent to arc LN and arc OP is congruent to arc VW.
And the expressions for each arc in the diagram also given as:
Arc QR = 2x - y, arc LN = 11 , arc OP= 10 and arc VW=5x+y.
Hence, we will get the system of equations as following:
Arc QR = Arc LN
2x - y = 11 ...(1)
Arc OP = Arc VW
5x + y = 10 ...(2)
We need to find the value of x. So, we can add the equations to eliminate y so that we can solve the equations for x. Therefore,
2x+5x = 11 + 10
7x = 21
Divide each sides by 7.
So, x= 3
2A) C is correct.
2B) If x + 13 = 28, solve.
If x = 15 and x + 13 = 28, you can solve it two ways:
1. Plug x into 4x + 26 to get a perimeter of 86, or
2. Redo the equation:
3a. Since the 6z is negative, you want an expression the has 5z - (11z). Answers A and D have that in their answer.
But since the 13 is positive, you want the answer that subtracts the smaller number from the larger. Thus, D is your answer since it subtracts 2 from 15.
3b) You think about this question the same way; 6z is positive, so the smaller number is being subtracted from the larger, meaning that 11z - 5z is what you look for. C and D are the two that have that, so now let's look at the second term.
The 13 is negative, so you want the answer that has 2 - 15. The answer that has that is D.
Hope this helps :D
