Thank you so much!
Lol yeah it's kind of confusing
Lol i don't know my teacher helped me with the second question, I'm not sure how she got 156. Probably from 78 somehow
I figured it out
The formula for the first one is 5x-7=1/2(119+27) so x=16
The second one is 23x-3=360-156, so x=9
I'm very grateful for that. I struggle a lot in math although this year seems a lot easier than every other year for some reason.
Wow...I'm glad someone agrees with me. My teacher didn't give me anything to go off of either! I'm thinking of asking her how exactly she wants me to solve these problems but whenever I ask for help she never actually helps me.
Oh also the formula given (which is clearly not right with this problem unless I need to find the other arcs first) is a*b=c*d. I'm including a picture so you know what i'm talking about:
They are each degrees. 119 degrees is just one of the arcs and 5x-7 is another degree in between 119 and 27 (so the angle I'm guessing). 27 degrees is the other arc given. It doesn't really say much this is all it provides. I'm not gonna worry about the second one yet since it literally gives me no information.
I got x=30.6 but I'm probably completely wrong because I set it up like 119=5x-7+27
Thank you so much for your help!
