Answers:
- a) x = 9
- b) arc JK = 68
- c) arc MJ = 112
- d) arc LMK = 248
================================
Explanation:
Arcs JK and KL form a semicircle, so they add to 180 degrees
(arcJK) + (arcKL) = 180
(5x+23) + (17x-41) = 180
22x-18 = 180
22x = 180+18
22x = 198
x = 198/22
x = 9
Then you'll use this x value to find arc JK and arc KL
arc JK = 5x+23 = 5*9+23 = 68
arc KL = 17x - 41 = 17*9-41 = 112
Since central angles MNJ and KNL are vertical angles, this means minor arcs MJ and KL are congruent arcs. So arc MJ is also 112 degrees
Arc LMK is basically nearly everything of the full circle, but we exclude out the portion from L to K (the shorter distance)
arc LMK = (full circle) - (measure of minor arc LK)
arc LMK = 360 - 112
arc LMK = 248
The zero product property tells us that if the product of two or more factors is zero, then each one of these factors CAN be zero.
For more context let's look at the first equation in the problem that we can apply this to:

Through zero property we know that the factor

can be equal to zero as well as

. This is because, even if only one of them is zero, the product will immediately be zero.
The zero product property is best applied to
factorable quadratic equations in this case.
Another factorable equation would be

since we can factor out

and end up with

. Now we'll end up with two factors,

and

, which we can apply the zero product property to.
The rest of the options are not factorable thus the zero product property won't apply to them.

Hello there! The answer is the first option, 31/55.
To solve this, we don't even need to do any math. Note that fractions with the same numerator and denominator will be equal to 1.
Knowing this and looking at our second and fourth options, 55/55 x 111 and 31/31 x 111, these problems are the same as 1 x 111, which results in 111, which is not less than, leaving us with the third and first options.
The third option is 55/31, meaning we have more than a whole, so we are multiplying by a number greater than 1, making our answer over 111 and this option not correct.
This leaves the first option as your answer!
