Yes ok it is with a common
I need a question to answer first.
Step-by-step explanation:
3y + x = 12
When y = 3, we have 3(3) + x = 12.
=> 9 + x = 12, x = 3.
I’m assuming you man degrees? Are these angles of a triangle?
This doesn’t really make sense because the angles in a triangle add up to 180° so your equation would be x+50+x+80+72=180
Combine like terms to get
2x+202=180
Then subtract 202 from both sides
2x=-22
So x would be -11 which doesn’t seem right lol
Given: KL is a tangent to the circle.
LM is another tangent to the circle.
We can use the tangent meeting at an external point theorem.
<em>Theorem</em>: <em>The tangent segments to a circle from an external point are equal.
</em>
Thus, we can say KL = LM, as they lie on a common circle, and are tangents to such circle.
4x - 2 = 3x + 3
4x - 3x = 3 + 2
x = 5
Since LM is 3x + 3, we can substitute the value of x to LM to render:
3(5) + 3 = 18
Thus, LM = KL = 18 units.
