Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Multiply out the brackets

48x - 80 - 40x + 80 = 40 → negative + negative = positive [-10 x -8]

Step 2: Simplify

8x = 40 → collect like terms

Step 3: Solve

x = (40/8)

x = 5

For circle O, mCD=125° and m

Burka [1]

CA is a diameter of the circle, so $m\widehat{AC}=180^\circ$ , which means $m\angle AOB=m\angle AOD=m\widehat{AD}=180^\circ-m\widehat{CD}=55^\circ$ . Then $m\boxed{\angle ABO}=90^\circ-55^\circ=35^\circ$ .

This means $m\angle CBO=55^\circ-35^\circ=20^\circ$ . Also, if $m\angle AOB=55^\circ$ , then $m\angle BOC=180^\circ-55^\circ=125^\circ$ , which in turns tells us that $m\boxed{\angle BCO}=180^\circ-20^\circ-125^\circ=35^\circ$ .
