The least possible number of coins Pirate Jack has, is 81 coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

When the coins are divided into 7 equal piles, 4 coins are left.

When the coins are divided into 11 equal piles, 4 coins are left.

We will take LCM of both 7 and 11.

7 = 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, ....

11 = 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, ...

The least common multiple of 7 and 11 is 77.

As 4 coins are left, therefore, we will add those coins.

Total possible coins = 77+4 = 81

The least possible number of coins Pirate Jack has, is 81 coins.

This circle is circumscribed about quadrilateral ABCD. What is the value of x?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The value of x is 56°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is add up to 180°. So in order to find x, you have to write an expression in terms of x :

97  + x + 27 = 180

x + 124 = 180

Next you have to solve it by substracting 124 to both sides :

x + 124 - 124 = 180 - 124

x = 56
