Question

@Shadow

Answer 1

How do you think we would approach this?

Answer 2

Try to solve the equation things first?

Answer 3

The expressions?

Answer 4

yeah those things lol

Answer 5

In order to solve expressions, we need to put them in an equation. What equation have we been using for the past couple problems?

Answer 6

hold on, sorry be right back

Answer 7

</3

Answer 8

IM BACK!!! Did ya miss me? lol

Answer 9

Lol

Time w's madeth slow by thy absenc'

Answer 10

Sorry we're discussing Archaic English in chat. Where did we leave off?

Answer 11

don't apologize, I love the old english way of speaking. it makes words more meaningful in my opinion ^.^

Answer 12

and we left off on how to solve the expressions

Answer 13

Haha agreed. Lets speed through this question real quick, would be curious to hear your thoughts in chat.

\[Angle = \frac{ 1 }{ 2} Arc\]

\[Angle = 4x - 3.5\]
\[Arc = 4x + 17\]

\[4x - 3.5 = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }( 4x + 17)\]
\[2(4x - 3.5 = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(4x + 17))\]
\[8x - 7 = 4x + 18\]
\[4x = 25\]
\[x = \frac{ 25 }{ 4 }\]

Answer 14

Okay ^.^

Answer 15

Where do you think you go from there?

Answer 16

Hold on I can't do math

Answer 17

\[4x - 7 = 17\]
\[4x = 24\]
\[x = 6\]

Answer 18

lol

Answer 19

I blame the 8 okay

Answer 20

Anywho, what do you think we do now?

Answer 21

lol okay XD and set up the equation? maybe?

Answer 22

I did that .-.

Answer 23

The equation we were to use was the formula for inscribed angles.

Answer 24

I used it. Input the expressions which represented the Angle and Arc, then solved for x

Answer 25

Yeah that's what I meant XD and okayz

Answer 26

So what do you think we do now :)

Answer 27

@hardlyhuman

Answer 28

I'm still here

Answer 29

Yeah, what do you think we do now .-.

Answer 30

I keep making myself look stupid -_- I'm lost again..

Answer 31

It's okay. You didn't give up like Gabriel :)

Answer 32

What are we trying to solve for?

Answer 33

x

Answer 34

Check again .-.

Answer 35

I don't know.. as you've worked out by now, I'm horrible at math. I don't know whats going on half the time. Aand right now is one of those times..

Answer 36

It's okay, I'm here to help

Answer 37

would it be AC?

Answer 38

The questions is asking for the measure of arc AC. We were given the expressions which represent the measures of the angle, and the arc. We inputted them into the formula for inscribed angles, and solved for x, which is 6. Now we just have expressions....with x in them .-.

Answer 39

okay

Answer 40

And one of those expressions with x represent the measure of arc AC .-.

Answer 41

so input 6 for x and solve?

Answer 42

mhm

Answer 43

41?

Answer 44

Correct

Answer 45

Why did it take me so long to work that out -_-

Answer 46

Well, sometimes you get lost in the math and forget what you're actually solving for.

Answer 47

Yeah I guess so, would you be willing to help me with one more? If I haven't pushed it too much XD

Answer 48

Sure :)

Answer 49

Thank you
