<h2>Answer:</h2>10.\text{ Option B is correct}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Given the equation expressed as:

2x+5=8x

First, we need to calculate the value of "x" from the given expression.

Step 1: Given the equation 2x + 5 = 8x

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides:

\begin{gathered} 2x+5-5=8x-5 \\ 2x+\cancel{5}-\cancel{5}=8x-5 \\ 2x=8x-5 \end{gathered}

Step 3: Subtract 8x from both sides

\begin{gathered} 2x-8x=8x-8x-5 \\ -6x=\cancel{8x}-\cancel{8x}-5 \\ -6x=-5 \end{gathered}

Step 4: Divide both sides by -6

\begin{gathered} \frac{-6x}{-6}=\frac{-5}{-6} \\ x=\frac{5}{6} \end{gathered}

Step 5: Get the value of 12x. Substitute x = 5/6 into the expression to have:

\begin{gathered} 12x=12(\frac{5}{6}) \\ 12x=\cancel{12}^2(\frac{5}{\cancel{6}^1}) \\ 12x=2\times5 \\ 12x=10 \end{gathered}

Therefore the value of 12x is 10

find the measure of the angle of the radius of the circle is 4 inches and the length of the arc is 8 pi.
NeTakaya
Since the angle is in radians, then s = rθ.

\bf \textit{arc's length}\\\\&#10;s=r\theta \quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;r=4\\&#10;s=8\pi &#10;\end{cases}\implies 8\pi =4\theta \implies \cfrac{8\pi }{4}=\theta \implies 2\pi =\theta
