Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the Physics book costs $x

The Chemistry book will cost $x - $6

Two such Chemistry books will cost;

2($x - $6) = $(2x - 12)

Three such Physics books cost $3x

$(2x - 12) + $3x = $123

$5x - $12 = $123

$5x = $111

x = $22\frac{1}{5}

So the Physics book costs;  $22\frac{1}{5}

and the Chemistry book costs  $22\frac{1}{5} - 6 =  $16\frac{1}{5}

Angle measures and segment lengths. Algebra Find the value of each variable.
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

x = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Outside Angles Theorem, the angle formed by the two tangents in the diagram above is equal to half of the difference of the measures of two arcs  that are intercepted.

Therefore:

x = \frac{1}{2}(360 - 120) - 120)

x = \frac{1}{2}(240 - 120)

x = \frac{1}{2}(120)

x = 60°
