Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's because any number multiplied by 0 equals 0. We could put any 2 numbers other than 2.7 and 2.8 yet still get both sides of the  equation = - 5.9 but the 2 sides are obviously not equal.

To do the test correctly he can use any number except 0.

Answer:

Sample Response: The coefficients of x are different in the expressions, but the constant values are the same. Zero times any value is zero, so both expressions will be equal to –5.9. If Ryan tried any other number, he would see that the expressions are not equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Can someone please help me with this?

The angle formed by two tangles results in half of the difference of the two arcs. 

That is to say 

70 = .5(Major arc - minor arc)

Think of the major arc as the larger and the minor the smaller.

So therefore the difference in the two arcs = 140 (multiplying both sides of the above equation by 2.

140 = major arc - minor arc.

Another necessary idea is that the arc of a whole circle = 360 degrees, that is to say the major arc + minor arc = 360, giving us a second equation to solve.
Assuming x is the minor arc.

140 = major arc - x 
360 = major arc + x

Use linear combination and add these equations to get

500 = 2*major arc

major arc = 250
minor arc or x = 110.

The answer is 110 degrees.
