12x-5 = -12

__________

+5 +5 (addition poe) (add 5 to both sides to cancel -5 out)

Answer:

∠ PQR = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent- tangent angle PQR is half the difference of the intercepted arcs.

minor arc PR = 360° - 250° = 110°

Then

∠ PQR = $\frac{1}{2}$ (250 - 110)° = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 140° = 70°

FIND THE VALUE OF X AND Y.(ordered pairs)<br><br>(x+y,0)=(8,x-y)

Aliun [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that...

x+y (from the first pair) corresponds to 8(in the second pair)..

0 (from the first pair) corresponds to x-y (in the second pair)..

Hence,

$x + y = 8 \\ x - y = 0$

By simply adding the two equations we get,

$2x = 8 \\ x = 4$

Hence,

By substituting x=4, we get that y=4

Hence,

x=y=4
