Answer:

x = 14  

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume your diagram is like the one below.

The intersecting secant angles theorem states, "When two secants intersect outside a circle, the measure of the angle formed is one-half the difference between the far and the near arcs."

For your diagram, that means

\begin{array}{rcl}m\angle L &=&\dfrac{1}{2} \left(m \widehat {JM} - m\widehat {PQ}\right)\\\\(3x + 13)^{\circ}& = &\dfrac{1}{2} \left[(8x + 48)^{\circ} - (5x - 20)^{\circ}\right]\\\\3x + 13& = &\dfrac{1}{2}(8x + 48 - 5x + 20)\\\\3x + 13& = &\dfrac{1}{2}(3x + 68)\\\\6x + 26 & = & 3x + 68\\6x & = & 3x + 42\\3x & = & 42\\x & = & \mathbf{14}\\\end{array}

Check:

\begin{array}{rcl}(3\times14 + 13) & = &\dfrac{1}{2} \left[(8\times14 + 48)^{\circ} - (5\times14 - 20)^{\circ}\right]\\\\42 + 13& = &\dfrac{1}{2}(112 + 48 - 70 + 20)\\\\55& = &\dfrac{1}{2}(110)\\\\55 & = & 55\\\end{array}

It checks.

Tell whether the given number is a solution of each question. ( Must show work for credit)
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

1. 9 = 2a + 3 ; 3

Let's solve for a.

9 - 3 = 2a (subtraction property of equality)

6 = 2a

\frac{6}{2} = a (division property of equality)

3 = a

a = 3

Therefore, 3 is a solution to 9 = 2a + 3

2. 5n - (-30) = 5 ; 7

5n + 30 = 5 (- × - = +)

5n = 5 - 30 (Subtraction property of equality)

5n = -25

\frac{5n}{5} = \frac{-25}{5} (division property of equality)

n = -5

Therefore, 7 is not a solution of 5n - (-30) = 5

3. 4.4r - 2.8 = 1.6 ; 1

4.4r = 1.6 + 2.8

4.4r = 4.4

\frac{4.4r}{4.4} = \frac{4.4}{4.4}

r = 1

Therefore, 1 is a solution of 4.4r - 2.8 = 1.6.

What is the unit rate of $4.20 for 6 muffins
Sergio [31]
Well, you would divide 4.20/6 to find the price of just 1 muffin. 4.20/6 is 0.7, meaning that the price for one muffin is 70 cents.
