Question

6. For the given circle O, FG is the same distance from O as, RS is. If FG = 5n + 34 and

RS = -2(1 – 7n), then find the value of n. (The figure is not drawn to scale.)

Answer 1

n=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Because FG and RS are the same distance away from O, they are equivalent.

We can do:

5n+34=-2(1-7n)

and solve for n.

5n+34=-2+14n

36=9n

n=4
