Ray UW is the angle bisector of Angle VUT. If the measure of Angle VUW = (4x + 6)° and the measure of Angle WUT = (6x – 10)°, wh
Lunna [17]

Hello! :)

Answer:

\huge\boxed{38^{\circ}}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

An angle bisector divides an angle in half, therefore:

m∠VUW ≅ m∠WUT

Set the expressions equal to each other:

4x + 6 = 6x - 10

Subtract 4x from both sides:

6 = 2x - 10

Add 10 to both sides:

16 = 2x

Divide 2 from both sides:

x = 8.

Substitute in the value of "x" into the equation for ∠WUT:

6(8) - 10 = 48 - 10 = 38°.

The number of seats in each row of a theater forms an arithmetic sequence. The fifth row contains 22 seats. The tenth row contai
beks73 [17]

Let s_n denote the number of seats in the n-th row. s_n is arithmetic, so

s_n=s_{n-1}+d

for some constant d.

We're told s_5=22 and s_{10}=37, so that

s_{10}=s_9+d

s_{10}=(s_8+d)+d=s_8+2d

s_{10}=(s_7+d)+2d=s_7+3d

and so on up to

s_{10}=s_5+5d\implies37=22+5d\implies5d=15\implies d=3

The pattern continues:

s_5=s_4+3

s_5=(s_3+3)+3=s_3+2\cdot3

and so on up to

s_5=s_1+4\cdot3\implies22=s_1+12\implies\boxed{s_1=10}
