B is equal to 154 degrees. we know this cause half of the circle equals 180 and if you subtract a (26) from 180 you get 154
For this question, you would have to use the midpoint formula.
(X1 +X2 / 2 , Y1 + Y2 / 2)
In other words,
(9 + -3 / 2 , -7 +5 / 2)
(6 / 2 , -2 / 2)
(3 , -1)
Your midpoint is (3, -1)
[x-1]=5x+10
We have two equations:
1) x-1=5x+10
x-1=5x+10
x-5x=10+1
-4x=11
x=-11/4
2) x-1=-(5x+10)
x-1=-(5x+10)
x-1=-5x-10
x+5x=-10+1
6x=-9
x=-9/6=-3/2
we have two possible solutions:
solution₁; x=-11/4
solution₂: x=-3/2
we check it out:
1) x=-11/4
[x-1]=5x+10
[-11/4 - 1]=5(-11/4)+10
[(-11-4)/4]=-55/4 + 10
[-15/4]=(-55+40) /4
15/4≠-15/4 This solution don´t work.
2) x=-3/2
[x-1]=5x+10
[-3/2 - 1]=5(-3/2)+10
[(-3-2)/2]=-15/2 + 10
[-5/2]=(-15+20)/2
5/2=5/2; this solution works.
Therefore:
Answer: x=-3/2.
By doing so, they provide the illusion that the payments are cheaper then 1000 dollars, because 50 looks very small, when in reality it's $100 more then what the mattress is actually worth.
