First distribute -4 to all terms within the parenthesis

-4(x) = -4x

-4(1) = -4

-4x - 4 + 5 = 17

Simplify. Combine like terms

-4x (-4 + 5) = 17

-4x + 1 = 17

Isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do to the other.

Subtract 1 from both sides

-4x + 1 (-1) = 17 (-1)

-4x = 16

Divide -4 from both sides

-4x/-4 = 16/-4

x = 16/-4

x = -4

-4 is your answer

hope this helps

-4(x + 1) + 5 = 17

Distribute -4 inside the parentheses.

(-4x - 4) + 5 = 17

Combine like terms (-4 + 5).

-4x + 1 = 17

Subtract 1 from both sides.

-4x = 16

Divide both sides by -4.

x = -4

∠ABD is formed by a tangent and a secant intersecting outside of a circle. If minor arc AC = 72° and minor arc CD = 132°, what i
Kruka [31]

Answer:

measure of ∠ABD = 42°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle Formed by Tangent and Secant = (1/2)*(difference of Intercepted Arcs)

In this case the intercepted arcs are: minor arc AC and minor arc AD. Let´s first find minor arc AD, we know that:

minor arc AC + minor arc CD + minor arc AD = 360°

Then,

minor arc AD = 360° - minor arc AC - minor arc CD

minor arc AD = 360° - 72° - 132°

minor arc AD = 156°

Replacing in the aforementioned formula:

Angle Formed by Tangent and Secant = (1/2)*(difference of Intercepted Arcs)

∠ABD = (1/2)*(minor arc AD - minor arc AC)

∠ABD = (1/2)*(156° - 72°)

∠ABD = 42°
