Answer:

 ∠STU = 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle with vertex T is called an "inscribed angle." It intercepts arc SU. The relationship you are asked to remember is that the measure of the inscribed angle (T) is half the measure of the arc SU.

Point V is taken to be the center of the circle. The angle with vertex V is called a "central angle." It also intercepts arc SU. The relationship you are asked to remember is that the measure of the central angle (V) is equal to the measure of arc SU.

__

Using these two relationships together, we realize angle V is twice the measure of angle T:

  ∠SVU = 2×∠STU

  18x +12° = 2(18x -57°) . . . . . . relationship between the marked angles

  18x +12° = 36x -114° . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  126° = 18x . . . . . . . . . . . add 114°-18x

  ∠STU = 18x -57° = 126° -57°

 ∠STU = 69°

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You may notice we did not solve for x. We only needed to know the value of 18x, so we stopped when we found that value. (Actually, we only need the value of 18x-57°. See below.)

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>:

  (18x +12°) -(18x -57°) = 18x -57° . . . . . . . subtract 18x -57° from both sides of the first equation.

  69° = 18x -57° . . . . . simplify. This is the answer to the problem.

Which number line best shows how to solve -2-(-4)
pantera1 [17]
Alright. -2-(-4) = -2 + 4 because a negative and a negative equals to a positive[(-2-(-4)]. It would look like: Put a dot on -2, then move your dot 4 units to the right, which is +2.

Solve for x. 12(x+11) = 24
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide both sides by 12 to isolate the expression, x + 11

12(x + 11)/12 = 24/12

x + 11 = 2

Then, subtract 11 from both sides

x + 11 = 2

  - 11  - 11

x = -9

the larger of two positive numbers is 5 more then the smaller. The product of the numbers is 66. find the numbers
Serjik [45]

Answer: 30.5 and 35.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a system of linear equations to find out the answer to this problem. The larger number will be x and the smaller number will be y.

x=y+5

x+y=66

Substitute y+5 in for the bottom equation to get y+5+y=66. Simplify to get 2y+5=66. Subtract 5 from both sides and get 2y=61. Divide by 2 to get y=30.5. This is the smaller number. Add 5 to get the bigger number, which is 35.5
