Solve for 'x' in both of the following problems. Show all your work/explanations on your own paper and then submit a picture of

dexar [7]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

1. <B is an inscribed angle in a circle which intercepts arc AC.

Therefore, m<B = ½ of m<AC

B = ½ * 128° = 64°

x = 180 - (64 + 43)

x = 180 - 107 = 73°

2. The circle given shows two chords intersecting at point H.

According to intersecting chords theorem, the products of the segments formed by one chord equals the product of the segments formed by the other.

Therefore,

$10*x = 14*5$

Solve for x

$10x = 70$

Divide both sides by 10

$x = 7$

How to do an equation like this step by step? 4.5 (8 - x) + 36 = 100 - 2.5 (3x + 24)

Levart [38]

Answer:

x = -10.6667

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

4.5 (8 - x) + 36 = 100 - 2.5 (3 x + 24)

4.5 (8 - x) = 36 - 4.5 x:

36 - 4.5 x + 36 = 100 - 2.5 (3 x + 24)

Grouping like terms, -4.5 x + 36 + 36 = (36 + 36) - 4.5 x:

(36 + 36) - 4.5 x = 100 - 2.5 (3 x + 24)

36 + 36 = 72:

72 - 4.5 x = 100 - 2.5 (3 x + 24)

-2.5 (3 x + 24) = -7.5 x - 60:

72 - 4.5 x = -7.5 x - 60 + 100

Grouping like terms, -7.5 x - 60 + 100 = (100 - 60) - 7.5 x:

72 - 4.5 x = (100 - 60) - 7.5 x

100 - 60 = 40:

72 - 4.5 x = 40 - 7.5 x

Add 7.5 x to both sides:

7.5 x - 4.5 x + 72 = (7.5 x - 7.5 x) + 40

7.5 x - 7.5 x = 0:

7.5 x - 4.5 x + 72 = 40

Grouping like terms, 7.5 x - 4.5 x + 72 = (-4.5 x + 7.5 x) + 72:

(-4.5 x + 7.5 x) + 72 = 40

7.5 x - 4.5 x = 3 x:

3 x + 72 = 40

Subtract 72 from both sides:

3 x + (72 - 72) = 40 - 72

72 - 72 = 0:

3 x = 40 - 72

40 - 72 = -32:

3 x = -32

Divide both sides of 3 x = -32 by 3:

(3 x)/3 = (-32)/3

3/3 = 1:

x = (-32)/3

(-32)/3 = -10.6667:

Answer: x = -10.6667
