Answer:
x = 7, arc DE = 198°
Step-by-step explanation:
Inscribed angles from the same arc are congruent.
∠ DCE and ∠ DWE are inscribed angles from the same arc DE , thus
12x + 15 = 3x + 78 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
9x + 15 = 78 ( subtract 15 from both sides )
9x = 63 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x = 7
Thus
∠ DCE = 12x + 15 = 12(7) + 15 = 84 + 15 = 99°
The inscribed angle DCE is half the measure of its intercepted arc, thus
arc DE = 2 × 99° = 198°

Answer:
18.0
Step-by-step explanation:
==>Given:
Triangle with sides, 16, 30, and x, and a measure of an angle corresponding to x = 30°
==>Required:
Value of x to the nearest tenth
==>Solution:
Using the Cosine rule: c² = a² + b² - 2abcos(C)
Let c = x,
a = 16
b = 30
C = 30°
Thus,
c² = 16² + 30² - 2*16*30*cos 30°
c² = 256 + 900 - 960 * 0.8660
c² = 1,156 - 831.36
c² = 324.64
c = √324.64
c = 18.017769
x ≈ 18.0 (rounded to nearest tenth)
For every value tht x increases, y decreases by 3
-3x
Then to find the y intercept, look at 0's corresponding value (8)
-3x+8
