What is the value of x in -4(5x-5)=120

Answer: x = -5

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation, we start by distributing the -4 through the parentheses on the left side.

So we have -4 times x which is -20x and -4 times -5 which is positive 20. So our equation now reads -20x + 20 = 120.

Solving from here, we subtract 20 from both sides of the equation and we have -20x = 100 and dividing both sides by -20, we find that x = -5.

Although I will not provide work to check our answer, the great thing about solving equations is that your can always check your answer by substituting what you got as a final answer into the original equation.

Answer:

9. m(YZ) = 102°

10. m(JKL) = 192°

11. m<GHF = 75°

Step-by-step explanation:

9. First, find the value of x

4x + 3 = 3x + 15 (inscribed angle that are subtended by the same arc are equal based on the inscribed angle theorem)

Collect like terms

4x - 3x = -3 + 15

x = 12

4x + 3 = ½(m(YZ)) (inscribed angle of a circle = ½ the measure of the intercepted arc)

Plug in the value of x

4(12) + 3 = ½(m(YZ))

48 + 3 = ½(m(YZ))

51 = ½(m(YZ))

Multiply both sides by 2

51*2 = m(YZ)

102 = m(YZ)

m(YZ) = 102°

10. First, find the value of x.

7x + 5 + 6x + 6 = 180° (opposite angles in an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary)

Add like terms

13x + 11 = 180

13x = 180 - 11

13x = 169

x = 169/13

x = 13

7x + 5 = ½(m(JKL)) (inscribed angle of a circle = ½ the measure of the intercepted arc)

Plug in the value of x

7(13) + 5 = ½(m(JKL))

96 = ½(m(JKL))

Multiply both sides by 2

2*96 = m(JKL)

m(JKL) = 192°

11. First, find x.

5x + 15 = ½(11x + 18) (inscribed angle of a circle = ½ the measure of the intercepted arc)

Multiply both sides by 2

2(5x + 15) = 11x + 18

10x + 30 = 11x + 18

Collect like terms

10x - 11x = -30 + 18

-x = -12

Divide both sides by -1

x = 12

m<GHF = 5x + 15

Plug in the value of x

m<GHF = 5(12) + 15

m<GHF = 60 + 15

m<GHF = 75°
