same concept as the last one

AZ:

angle = 1/2 * (big arc - small arc) the angle is 40 the big arc is 7x the small arc is 3x

imyoursgirlsgirl:

ok so set it up one more time for me so it clicks in my head

AZ:

angle is 40 angle = 1/2 * (big arc - small arc) so 40 = 1/2 * (big arc - small arc) big arc is 7x small arc is 3x 40 = 1/2 * (7x - 3x)

imyoursgirlsgirl:

ok so i add 3 to both side?

AZ:

no, you have to move the 1/2 first multiply 2 on both sides

AZ:

multiplying by 2 will get rid of the 1/2 on the right side and so what is 40 * 2 = ?

imyoursgirlsgirl:

80 sorry again

imyoursgirlsgirl:

@AZ

AZ:

so now we went from 40 = 1/2(7x - 3x) to get 80 = 7x - 3x can you simplify it and solve for x? What is 7x - 3x = ?

imyoursgirlsgirl:

4x

AZ:

Good so now we have 80 = 4x divide 4 on both sides, what is x?

imyoursgirlsgirl:

20=1

AZ:

4x divided by 4 is going to be x so 20 = x

imyoursgirlsgirl:

oh ok

AZ:

and you're all done

imyoursgirlsgirl:

so its 20?

AZ:

yes

imyoursgirlsgirl:

ok thx <3

AZ:

you're welcome :)
