If two secants intersect outside a circle (as these two do) then the angle at which they meet is 1/2 the difference between the intersected arcs. Put much simpler <DCF = 1/2 (arc EG - arc DF)
Givens
Arc EG = 127
Arc DF = 49
Solution
<DCF = 1/2(127 - 49)
<DCF = 1/2(78)
<DCF = 39
The answer is a all of the points
4(4x + 6) - 7 = 77 - 4x......distribute thru the parenthesis
16x + 24 - 7 = 77 - 4x ...simplify
16x + 17 = 77 - 4x ...addition property of equality....add 4x to both sides
16x + 4x + 17 = 77 ...subtraction property ...subtract 17 from both sides
16x + 4x = 77 - 17...combine like terms
20x = 60 ....division property....divide both sides by 20
x = 60/20
x = 3
Answer:
Smaller is 18 and larger be 30
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x+1)² = 7; expand: 25x² + 10x +1 = 7 or 25x² + 10x -6 = 0
Solve this quadratic for x:
x = [-b + √(b² - 4ac)]/2a and x = [-b - √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
Plug the values and you'll find :
x = (- √7 - 1)/5 (answer C)
x = (+√7 -1)/5 (answer E)
