Hey there!

"One half of a number" will be a number (x) divided by 2. This can also be shown as "0.5x" or "1/2x", whichever you prefer.

"...decreased by 16" will be "– 16", making your full equation 0.5x – 16. Remember that terms like remainder, difference, and fewer will always mean subtraction.

Hope this helped you out! :-)

1/2x-16 is an equation that can be used to represent this. The 1/2x represents the one half of a number and the -16 represents the decreased by 16.

Find the values of x and y. lines that appear to be tangent are tangent

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The value of $y = 122^o$

The value of $x = 61^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally the total angle that make up a circle is

$\theta _T = 360$

From the diagram we see that

$\theta _T = y^o + 238^o$

=> $y^o = 360 -238$

$y^o = 122^o$

Generally angle that is formed as a result of interception of a chord and a tangent is equal to the intercepted arc divided by 2

This implies that

$x = \frac{y}{2}$

substituting values

$x = \frac{122}{2}$

$x = 61^o$
