Clara is playing a game where you score -8 points each time you guess the correct answer. the goal is to get the lowest score. to win the game, clara must have a score less than -280 points. how many correct answers does clara need to win the game?

272

Step-by-step explanation:

-8--280=272

if x = 1, then the answer is 3.5

answer:   the paragraph proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

given: in a δxwy where

such that, ∠wzx ≅ ∠yzx and zw≅zy

we have to prove that: segment zx is a perpendicular bisector of segment wy.

prove: since, zw≅zy ⇒ ∠wzy is a supplementary angle.

then, ∠wzy= 180°

⇒∠wzx + ∠yzx = 180° ( because xz divides ∠wzy into two parts)

but, ∠wzx ≅ ∠yzx ( given)

⇒∠wzy+∠wzy=180° ( by substitution)

⇒2∠wzy=180°

⇒∠wzy=90°

⇒∠wzy=∠yzx =90°

therefore, xz⊥wy where wz=zy

⇒zx is a perpendicular bisector of wy.
