Answer:

x=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-5(x-2)=12x+4-x

4x-5x+10=12x-x+4

-x+10=11x+4

-x-11x+10=4

-12x+10=4

-12x=4-10

-12x=-6

12x=6

x=6/12

simplify

x=1/2

Answer: x = 1/2

Explanation :

First write the equation as you see it:

4x-5(x-2)=12x+4-x

Next do the math in the parentheses:

4x-5x+10=12x-x+4

Combine the x’s:

-12x+10=4

Switch the 10 and put it on the other side:

-12x=4-10

Change to negative to positive:

12x=6

Divide:

x=6/12

Simplify

x=1/2

Thus, you answer is x = 1/2

Hope this helps! :)

I need help with this problem, if anyone could help ASAP, that would be much appreciated. In the figure below, mROP = 125° Find

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

mRP = 125°

mQS = 125°

mPQR = 235°

mRPQ = 305°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

mROP = 125°

∠ROP is a central angle

Then:

measure of arc RP, mRP = mROP = 125°

Given that

∠QOS and ∠ROP are vertical angles

Then:

mQOS = mROP = 125°

measure of arc QS, mQS = mROP = 125°

Given that

∠QOR and ∠SOP are vertical angles

Then:

mQOR = mSOP

Given that

The addition of all central angles of a circle is 360°

Then:

mQOS + mROP + mQOR + mSOP = 360°

250° + 2mQOR = 360°

mQOR = (360°- 250°)/2

mQOR = mSOP = 55°

And (QOR and SOP are central angles):

measure of arc QR, mQR = mQOR = 55°

measure of arc SP, mSP = mSOP = 55°

Finally:

measure of arc PQR, mPQR = mQOR + mSOP + mQOS = 55° + 55° + 125° = 235°

measure of arc RPQ, mRPQ = mROP + mSOP + mQOS = 125° + 55° + 125° = 305°

Consider this scenario: The population of a city increased steadily over a ten-year span. The following ordered pairs show the p

frutty [35]

Answer:

$y = 0.00587x +1986.406$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the population of a city increased steadily over a ten-year span. The following ordered pairs show the population x and the year y over the ten-year span in the form (x, y) for specific recorded years.

x y

2500 2001

2650 2002

3000 2004

3500 2007

4200 2011

Slope 0.005865485

Intercept 1986.406413

So regression line is

$y = 0.00587x +1986.406$

When population = 15000

$0.00587(17000)+1986.406\\=2074.389$

A)4pi m B)8pi m C)16pi m D)10pi m

Paha777 [63]

Arc length has a formula that is similar to arc measure, but arc length is expressed in inches or meters or miles, etc., whereas measure is expressed in degrees, like an angle. The formula for each take this into account. Since the arc length is part of the length of the outside of the circle, the formula includes the circumference for a circle. $AL= \frac{ \theta }{360} * \pi d$ , where theta is the degree measure of the central angle intersecting the arc you're looking for, and d is the diameter of the circle. Our formula would look like this with the info we have: $AL= \frac{30}{360}* 24 \pi$ which can be simplified to $AL= \frac{1}{12}*24 \pi$ which can be simplified even further to $AL=2 \pi$ . And that's your answer!
