Each cast member ate the same number of whole cookies and the same number of whole carrot sticks nothing was left over. The drama teacher did not eat. How many cast members might have been at the party? Explain

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.

1) 2/5

2) zero=0/1

3) zero=0/2

4) -4/5

5) undefined=3/0
