The value of x is 2 and the length of JK is 4
<h3>How to solve the unknown variables?</h3>
The given parameters from the circle are:
- Center = Point S
- Segment JK = 8
- Segment LK = 2x + 4
- Congruent SN = SP = 7
The lines SR and SQ are the radii of the circle P
This means that lines JK and JL are congruent
So, we have:
JK = KL
Substitute LK = 2x + 4 and JK = 4
4 = 2x + 4
Rewrite the above equation as:
2x + 4 = 8
Subtract 4 from both sides
2x + 4 - 4 = 8 - 4
Evaluate the difference
2x = 4
Divide both sides by 2
2x = 4/2
This gives
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 in LK = 2x + 4
LK = 2*2 + 4
Evaluate the product of 2 and 2
LK = 4 + 4
This gives
LK = 8
The point N divides JK into 2 equal segments
So, we have
JN = JK/2
JN= 8/2
JN = 4
Hence, the value of x is 2 and the length of JK is 4

#SPJ1
The greatest number of tickets she can buy is 6 tickets
Answer:
-7/13
Step-by-step explanation:
(1 + 7x) - 6 * (-7 - x) = 36 Distribute the 6 into (-7 - x)
1 + 7x + 42 + 6x = 36 Combine like terms (1 + 42) & (7x + 6x)
43 + 13x = 36 Subtract 43 from both sides
13x = -7 Divide by 13
x = -7/13
