The answer is B.
This is because <span>any angle formed by two chords is equal to half the sum of intercepted arcs.</span>
So the two numbers can be represented as x and y
so x is first and y is second
y=2(x)-8
so y=2x-8
IF THEY ARE CONSECUTIVE
If they are consecutive numbers then
x+1=y
subtitute
x+1=2x-8
subtract x from both sides
1=x-8
add 8 to both sides and get
9=x
put it into the equation and get
y=2(9)-8
y=18-8
y=10
so x=9
y=10
IF X AND Y ARE CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS (1,2,3,4 not 2.3 or 1,3,5,8)

Answer:
- (x +1)² = 4
- (D) x = -1 ±2
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by getting the x-terms on one side of the equal sign. We can do that by subtracting x from both sides.
3 = x² +2x
Now, add the square of half the x-coefficient.
3 +1 = x² +2x +1
(x +1)² = 4 . . . . . . . . write as a square in the desired form
__
To solve, take the square root, and add the opposite of the left-side constant.
x +1 = ±2
x = -1 ±2 . . . . . . matches choice (D)
in 1st figure
2:1=(x+2):2
2/1=(x+2)/2
4=x+2
x=2.
Similarly in the 2nd figure
8:5=(8+3):(5+x)
8/5 = 11/ (5+x)
8(5+x) =55
40+8x=55
8x=15
x=15/8
x=1.875
This one is very simple.
create a simple equation to find out
15 = 12 + x
subtract 12 from each side
x= 3
the missing number is 3
or, to be even simpler, take the total, subtract the total from the number you know and the difference is the missing number.
hope I helped
ALSO, we can check going down vertically. 3 + 10 =13. this is the total listed at the bottom.
