Answer:
Measure of angle XCY is 60°.
Step-by-step explanation:
"Measure of all inscribed angles by the same arc in one segment of the circle are equal"
Using this property in the given circle,
m∠XWY = m∠XCY
60x = 61x - 1
61x - 60x = 1
x = 1
By substituting the value of 'x' in the measure of ∠XCY,
m∠XCY = 61x - 1
= 61(1) - 1
= 61 - 1
= 60°
Therefore, measure of angle XCY is 60°.
Y = 3/4x - 5/2....subtract 3/4x from both sides
-3/4x + y = -5/2 ....multiply everything by common denominator of 4
-3x + 4y = -10
They give you the same answer it just that one has parenthesis and the other one doesn't.
Answer:
x = number of nickels = 127
y = number of dimes = 156
z = number of quarters = 78
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = number of nickels
y = number of dimes
z = number of quarters
Total worth of the coins = $41.45
Total number of coins = 361
x + y + z = 361 (1)
dime = $0.1,
nickel = $0.05
quarter = $0.25
0.05x + 0.1y + 0.25z = 41.45 (2)
twice as many dimes as quarters.
y = 2z
Substitute y = 2z into (1) and (2)
x + 2z + z = 361
0.05x + 0.1(2z) + 0.25z = 41.45
x + 3z = 361
0.05x + 0.2z + 0.25z = 41.45
x + 3z = 361 (3)
0.05x + 0.45z = 41.45 (4)
Multiply (4) by 20
x + 3z = 361 (3)
x + 9z = 829 (5)
Subtract (3) from (5)
9z - 3z = 829 - 361
6z = 468
Divide both sides by 6
z = 468 / 6
= 78
z= 78
Recall,
y = 2z
= 2(78)
= 156
y = 156
Substitute the value of y and z into
x + y + z = 361
x + 156 + 78 = 361
x + 234 = 361
x = 361 - 234
= 127
x= 127
x = number of nickels = 127
y = number of dimes = 156
z = number of quarters = 78
