Answer:

x = 110°

Step-by-step explanation:

The Outside Angle Theorem states that the measure of the angle formed by two secants or a secant and tangent from a point outside of a circle is half the difference between the two arcs.

This means that ½ (210 – x) = 50.

½ ( 210 – x ) × 2 = 50 × 2

210 – x = 100.

210 – x + x = 100 + x.

210 = 100 + x.

100 + x = 210.

100 + x – 100 = 210 – 100.

x = 110.

This value must be true because:

½ ( 210 – 110 ) = 50.

½ ( 100 ) = 50.

50 = 50.

Simplify the expression 3/2 (5/3) -1 1/4 + 1/2 Given the answer as a simplified fraction. The simplified expression is a/b.

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The simplified fraction is:

$\frac{7}{4}$

To solve this problem we must remember the following:

- Addition or subtraction of fractions, we add or subtract fractions by the following way:

$\frac{a}{b}(+-)\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ad(+-)bc}{bd}$

- Product of fractions, the multiplication of fraction is linear, meaning that we should multiply the numerator by the numerator and denominator by denominator, so:

$\frac{a}{b}*\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ac}{bd}$

- Convert mixed number to fraction,

$a\frac{b}{c}=a+\frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}$

So, solving we have:

$\frac{3}{2}*\frac{5}{3}-1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3*5}{2*3} -1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{3*5}{2*3} -1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{6} -1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{15}{6} -1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{6} -(1+\frac{1}{4})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{15}{6} -(1+\frac{1}{4})+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{6}-(\frac{4+1}{1*4})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{15}{6}-(\frac{4+1}{4})+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{6}-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{15}{6}-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=(\frac{5}{2}-\frac{5}{4})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\(\frac{5}{2}-\frac{5}{4})+\frac{1}{2}=(\frac{(4*5)-(2*5)}{8})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\(\frac{(4*5)-(2*5)}{8})+\frac{1}{2}=(\frac{20-10}{8})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\(\frac{20-10}{8})+\frac{1}{2}=(\frac{10}{8})+\frac{1}{2}\\\\(\frac{10}{8})+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{(5*2)+(4*1)}{2*4}\\\\\frac{(5*2)+(4*1)}{2*4}=\frac{10+4}{8}=\frac{14}{8}\\\\\frac{14}{8}=\frac{7}{4}$

Hence, the simplified fraction is:

$\frac{7}{4}$

Is (1,-4) a solution to the equation y=-2x?<br> Yes or no? Please help /:

Elden [556K]

No it is not, the solution would need to be (2,-4) in order to satisfy the equation y = -2x -- like so -4 = -2(2)

-4 = -4, otherwise the equation won't be satisfied.
