Marcel and Floyd are playing games at an arcade. Marcel has $8.25 and is only playing $0.25 games. Floyd has $9.75 and is only p

laying $0.75 games. Jorge wants to find the number of games after which Marcel and Floyd will have the same amount of money remaining. Jorge’s work is shown below.
Let x = the number of games played.

Equation: 8.25 minus 0.25 x = 9.75 minus 0.75 x. Step 1: negative 1.50 minus 0.25 x = negative 0.75 x. Step 2: negative 1.50 = 0.50 x. Step 3: negative 3 = x.


Jorge knows his answer is incorrect because it does not make sense to have a negative number of games. What is Jorge’s error?

Answer:

  the error is in step 2.

  0.25x was added to -0.75x with an incorrect result of +0.50x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The incorrect step is ...

  Step 2: negative 1.50 = 0.50 x

This is the result of an attempt to add 0.25x to both sides of the equation. The correct step would be ...

  -1.50 -0.25x = -0.75x . . . . . . . result from Step 1

  -1.50 -0.25x +0.25x = -0.75x +0.25x . . . . . add 0.25x to both sides

  -1.50 = -0.50x . . . . . . . . . . . . . the correct result from the addition (Step 2)

__

The correct result is ...

  x = -1.50/-0.50 = 3 . . . . . Step 3

I need help please helppppppppppppppppppppppp

Given:

A figure of a circle and two secants on the circle from the outside of the circle.

To find:

The measure of angle KLM.

Solution:

According to the intersecting secant theorem, if two secant of a circle intersect each other outside the circle, then the angle formed on the intersection is half of the difference between the intercepted arcs.

Using intersecting secant theorem, we get

\angle KLM=\dfrac{1}{2}(Arc(JON)-Arc(KM))

(3x-4)=\dfrac{1}{2}(271-(x+6))

(3x-4)=\dfrac{1}{2}(271-x-6)

Multiply both sides by 2.

6x-8=265-x

Isolate the variable x.

6x+x=265+8

7x=273

Divide both sides by 7.

x=\dfrac{273}{7}

x=39

Now,

\angle KLM=(3x-4)^\circ

\angle KLM=(3(39)-4)^\circ

\angle KLM=(117-4)^\circ

\angle KLM=113^\circ

Therefore, the measure of angle KLM is 113 degrees.
