Question

Solve for m 13x - 10 M N 7x - 10

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Arc LM = 13x - 10

Arc MN = 7x - 10

Required:

Solve for x

Solution:

Recall: half a circle = 180°

Therefore,

Arc LM + Arc MN = 180°

13x - 10 + 7x - 10 = 180

Add like terms

20x - 20 = 180

20x - 20 + 20 = 180 + 20

20x = 200

20x/20 = 200/20

x = 10
