Answer 5

is this correct?

Answer 6

Just a second.

Answer 7

tyt :)

Answer 8

I can give you a formula that will help you find the answer. (9x - 5) = 1/2 (larger arc - smaller arc)
So 158-64 = 94 / (1/2) = 47
angle (9x - 5) = 47 so 47 - 5 = 42
42 / 9 = 4.6666666667 or you can round to 4.70
You can check it.

Answer 9

Oh sorry it's actually my bad. You take 47 and then you add 5 and then you divide by 9 and that's x

Answer 10

right, yeah, I was just going to say
that would make my answer 5.78 right?

Answer 11

No, that would make your answer 6

Answer 12

52/9 = 5.78....unless they wanted me to round up to the nearest whole number...

Answer 13

ahhh sorry so yeah. You're original answer is correct. I don't know why but for some reason today I'm just being extra... well I feel dumber. Is the question multiple choice?

Answer 14

lol, it's fine
no it's free response

Answer 15

this is my work:
(9x - 5)º = (1/2)(158° - 64º)
(9x - 5)º = (1/2)(94)
(9x - 5)º = 47°
9x + (-5 + 5) = (47 + 5)°
9x = 52
9x/9 = 52/9
x = 5.78
x = 5.78

Answer 16

Well you can wait to see if anyone else will answer but I would say go with your gut. I'm not really sure how else to put it. Sorry if I wasn't of help.

Answer 17

Yup, that looks about right though.

Answer 18

It's fine, mostly I just wanted to make sure my equation was right
thnx for your help! :D

Answer 19

Sure thing!
