What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
vitfil [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the angle bisector theorem, we would have the following:

(x + 8)/10 = (2x - 5)/14

Cross multiply

14(x + 8) = 10(2x - 5)

14x + 112 = 20x - 50

Collect like terms

14x - 20x = -112 - 50

-6x = -162

Divide both sides by -6

-6x/-6 = -162/-6

x = 27

Set up a system of linear equations, and then solve for the indicated quantities.
hichkok12 [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • smaller: -4
  • larger: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting the given variables into the word problem, we have two equations:

  3x +3y = -15

  6x -3y = -21

Adding these equations eliminates y:

  9x = -36

  x = -4 . . . . divide by 9

Using this in the first equation, we have ...

  3(-4) +3y = -15

  -4 +y = -5 . . . . . divide by 3

  y = -1 . . . . . . . . . add 4

The smaller number is -4; the larger is -1.

A Ferris wheel rotates 9π/8 radians prior to making a stop. The total height of the Ferris wheel is 246 ft. How far around did t
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The ferris wheel travelled 434.717 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the ferris wheel is a perfect circle, then it's height is the same as the diameter of the circle, therefore it's radius is:

radius = height/2 = 246/2 = 123 ft

The distance travelled by the ferris wheel is the same as the length of the arc created by a angle of (9pi/8). The length of an arc is given by:

length = r*(angle in radians)

length = 123*(9pi/8)

length = 434.717 ft

The ferris wheel travelled 434.717 ft.
