Answer:
In order for the appropriate answer to be given, you need to include the original measurements as well.
Answer:
x = 12
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 16
x - y = 8
y + 8 = x
Replace x with y + 8 in the new equation
8 + 2y = 16 ----> we can minus 8 on both sides
2y = 8 -----> divide both sides by 2
y = 4
Now for the x value
x + 4 = 16 ----> minus 4 on both sides
x = 12

Answer: 161 degrees</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
Line AE is a tangent while line AU is a secant. The angle formed by the secant and tangent lines connects with the arcs through this formula
secant tangent angle = (larger arc - smaller arc)/2
More specifically, we can say:
angle EAI = (arc EU - arc IE)/2
42 = ( (7m+5) - (3m-1) )/2
42*2 = (7m+5) - (3m-1)
84 = 7m+5 - 3m+1
84 = 4m+6
4m+6 = 84
4m = 84-6
4m = 78
m = 78/4
m = 39/2
m = 19.5
Use this value of m to compute each arc
- arc IE = 3m-1 = 3*19.5-1 = 57.5 degrees
- arc EU = 7m+5 = 7*19.5+5 = 141.5 degrees
Let's say arc IU is some unknown number x. It must add to the other two arc measures to form 360 degrees, which is a full circle.
(arc IU) + (arc IE) + (arc EU) = 360
x + 57.5 + 141.5 = 360
x + 199 = 360
x = 360-199
x = 161
The measure of minor arc IU is 161 degrees
