Question

Can anyone help?

If arcLM = 8x-56 and arcNP = 5x+22, find arcLP.

Answer 1

arcLP = 19

Explanation:

Given the following

arcLM = 8x-56

arcNP = 5x+22

Required

arcLP

Given that arcLM = arcNP

8x-56 = 5x+22

8x - 5x = 22 + 56

3x = 78

x = 78/3

x = 26

Let assume arcLP = x - 7

arcLP = 26 -7

arcLP = 19
