Write an equation with a variable x and solve it to find these unknown amounts. a. 18 more than double a number is divided by 5 and this equals 12. What is the number?

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write the equation

(18 + 2x) ÷ 5 = 12

2. Multiply both sides by 5

18 + 2x = 60

3. Subtract 18 from both sides

2x = 42

4. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 2

x = 21

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
