Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
All radii of a circle are congruent, so by the base angles theorem
Also, angles x and y are inscribed in the same arc, and they are thus congruent, meaning x = 65.
So first, you want to open the parenthesis here.
So, to do that, first look at the symbol before the parenthesis.
In this case it's a -.
So when it's a -, reverse the symbol inside the parenthesis. (This is because if you don't you're subtracting 2x and then adding 8, when really you're subtracting both 2x and 8.)
So,
9x - 2x - 8
Or simplified,
7x - 8
Option D:

Solution:
Given compound inequality:

Let us first solve
.
Subtract 6 from both sides.


To reverse the inequality multiply by -1 on both sides.


Now solve the next inequality
.
Add 9 on both sides.


Divide by 2 on both sides.


Combine the inequality.

Option D is the correct answer.
