Let the first number be = x

Then the second number = 2x

The third number = 2x - 5

Their sum = 55

This can be written in an equation as =

x + 2x + 2x - 5 = 55

= x + 2x + 2x = 55 + 5 ( transposing -5 from LHS to RHS changes -5 to +5 )

= x + 2x + 2x = 60

= 5x = 60

= x = 60 ÷ 5 ( transposing ×5 from LHS to RHS changes ×5 to ÷5 )

= x = 12

The first number = x = 12

The second number = 2x = 2 × 20 = 24

The third number = 2x - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19

Therefore , the three numbers are 12 , 24 and 19 .

Find the measure of the indicated arcs or central angles in OA. DG is a diameter.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Arc DE = 90°

m<GAB = 82°

Arc DC = 49°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

m<EAF = 74°

m<EAD = right angle = 90°

Arc BG = 82°

Required:

Arc DE,

<GAB, and

Arc DC

Solution:

Recall that the central angle measure = the intercepted arc measure.

Therefore:

✔️Arc DE = m<EAD

Arc DE = 90° (Substitution)

✔️m<GAB = arc BG

m<GAB = 82° (Substitution)

✔️Arc DC = m<CAD

Find m<CAD

m<CAD = ½(180 - m<GAB)

m<CAD = ½(180 - 82)

m<CAD = 49°

Arc DC = m<CAD

Arc DC = 49°
