Can someone help me with my Algebra question?
Find y if the left hand arc is 5y+5 degrees
the image gives me a picture of a circle with two intersecting lines... one angle on the left says 5y+5 degrees and the other says 2y+12 degrees.
my choices are :
a)19
b) a circle with a slash
c)43
D) 7/3
E) none of these
I think the answer is E none of these and I HAD an answer for what I thought it was but I forgot it because someone deleted BOTH of my questions on here... I think my answer was 3 1/3... or something like that.... Look, there isn't anything in my book on how to figure out this problem, and I need an answer as soon as possible. I'd provide a link, but I can't do that on here, which really sucks.
I don't know how to solve it but i think u need to get the variable by itself first.I don't know what to do after that srry.
Thanks that helped me a little actually. I put each answer in the place of y and determined if the equation was true. I got D for an answer so thanks so much!!
wow i didn't think that would help u but... YOUR WELCOME
But you did, and thanks again!!!!!!
it's not d
To find the value of y in this Algebra problem, we need to use the properties of angles formed by intersecting lines and circles. Let's break down the problem step by step.
1. Start by considering the relationship between the two angles formed by the intersecting lines.
- The left-hand angle is given as 5y+5 degrees.
- The right-hand angle is given as 2y+12 degrees.
2. According to the properties of intersecting lines, the sum of the angles formed by intersecting lines is equal to 180 degrees. Therefore, the left-hand angle and the right-hand angle must add up to 180 degrees.
(5y+5) + (2y+12) = 180
3. Now, we can simplify the equation by combining like terms and solving for y.
5y + 2y + 5 + 12 = 180
7y + 17 = 180
7y = 180 - 17
7y = 163
y = 163/7
4. The final answer for y is the fraction 163/7, which is option D in the choices given.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) 7/3.
Additionally, if you believe that none of the given options are correct, please double-check your calculations and be mindful of any rounding errors.
