Question

Find the variable x.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

7x is a secant- secant angle and has measure equal to half the difference of the intercepted arcs, that is

7x = 0.5(22x + 10 - 50)

7x = 0.5(22x - 40) ← distribute

7x = 11x - 20 ( subtract 11x from both sides )

- 4x = - 20 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

x = 5
