Answer:

(x+6)(x+2)=60

expand

x^2+6x+2x+12=60

x^2+8x+12=60

minus 60 both sides

x^2+8x-48=0

factor

what multiplies to -48 and adds to 8

-4 and 12

(x-4)(x+12)=0

set each to zero

x-4=0

x=4

x+12=0

x=-12

x=4 or -12

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tangent-Secant Exterior Angle Measure Theorem states that if a tangent and a secant or two tangents/secants intersect outside of a circle, then the measure of the angle formed by them is half of the difference of the measures of its intercepted arcs. Basically, what that means here is that $x$ equals half of the difference of $30\textdegree$ and the measure of the unlabeled arc.

First, we need to find the measure of the unlabeled arc, since we can't find $x$ without it. We know that the measure of the full arc formed by the circle is $360\textdegree$ , so the measure of the unlabeled arc must be $360-30-100-100=130\textdegree$ by the Arc Addition Postulate.
