1. Angle PAB is 90 degrees, as it is formed from the tanget to the circle at A, and the radius drawn to A. 

2. AB=BC, because tangents drawn to a circle from the same point are equal.

3. PB is Common, so by the side-side-side congruence postulate, triangles ABP and CBP are congruent. 

4. So measure of m(BPA)=x/2 and m(ABP)=73/2.

5. \frac{x}{2}+90+ \frac{73}{2}=180

\frac{x+73}{2}=90

x+73=180, x= 107 degrees.

If the sum of a number and seven is tripled, the result is three less than twice the number. Find the number
hram777 [196]

Answer:

x = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 7) = 2x - 3

3 * x = 3x

3 * 7 = 21

3x + 21 = 2x - 3

-21            -21

3x = 2x -24

-2x   -2x

x = -24

This recipe makes a cake big enough to serve 4 people.
nignag [31]

Answer:

He can make a cake that serves 24 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gareth has 13 eggs, but only 2 are needed for 4 servings. 13 divided by 2 equals 6.5. We can't serve half of a person, so there will be a large cake equivalent to the size of 6 small cakes. Since 1 small cake serves 4 people, and Gareth's large cake is 6 times the size of a small cake, Gareth's cake can serve a total of 24 people. Now that is one big cake!
