Can someone please help me!! https://us-static.z-dn.net/files/d73/9ae7f536a60d83a9902eeb51f87fcfae.png

dude:

Welcome to QC! We first want to solve for x Remember that circles add up to 360 degrees So just add everything and set it equal to 360 \((25x-4)+(20x+4)+(15x)=360\) Do you know how to solve this?

goldylockssliver:

would the answer be x=7.6?

dude:

Not quite

dude:

\(25x-4+20x+4+15x=360\) Reorganizing to have common factors \(25x+20x+15x-4+4=360\) Then combining terms \(60x=360\) Can you solve from here?

goldylockssliver:

x=6 right?

dude:

Right

dude:

Now for a First, substitute x into that equation

124?

dude:

Yes, now because \(\angle BCA\) is inscribed to the back, you divide 124 by 2

goldylockssliver:

which would become 62

dude:

Yes, that is your answer to a

dude:

Now for b Substitute x into 15x

goldylockssliver:

It would become 90 which then divide by two, so the final answer would be 45

dude:

Looks good, that is b Now for c do the same thing with the final measurement

1 attachment
goldylockssliver:

For b the answer would be 73

goldylockssliver:

Wait so for the second question, is it the same as number 1?

dude:

This is a) \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) goldylockssliver which would become 62 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) This is b) \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) goldylockssliver It would become 90 which then divide by two, so the final answer would be 45 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) This is c) \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) goldylockssliver For c** the answer would be 73 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

goldylockssliver:

Does that mean you cannot help me anymore?

dude:

I can, I was just clarifying the answers

goldylockssliver:

Oh sorry
