Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8) (5x + 23) + (17x - 41) = 180
22x = 198
x = 9
arc JK 5(9) + 23 = 68°
arc MJ 17(9) - 41 = 112°
arc LMK 360 - 112 = 248
9) 8x + (21x - 12) + (10x + 9) + 90 = 360
39x = 273
x = 7
arc WX 21(7) - 12 = 135°
arc YW 90 + 8(7) = 146°
arc YX 10(7) + 9 = 79°
arc VXW 360 - 8(7) = 304°
4/7
4*2 ... 8
7*2 ... 14
8/14 = 4/7

w is the width and it is the independent variable. You can pick any positive whole number you want (within reason of course; you can't go to infinity or go beyond some set boundary). Whatever you picked for w, the expression 2w-5 will be dependent on it. So the length is dependent on the width.
For instance, if the width is w = 10 feet, then 2w-5 = 2*10-5 = 20-5 = 15 feet is the length. The choice of 10 feet for the width directly affects the length being 15 feet.
