Can anyone explain to me how to do this?

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle formed by two chords is half the sum of the intercepted arc angles.

m∠UST = ½ (mVL + mUT)

5x + 18 = ½ (66 + 8x − 6)

10x + 36 = 60 + 8x

2x = 24

x = 12

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3

you,

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
