Answer:

The number is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets write this as an equation first. We'll substitute the number for the variable x.

80 - 3x = 5x + 8

First, let's add 3x to both sides.

80 - 3x + 3x = 5x + 3x + 8

80 = 8x + 8

Next, let's subtract 8 from both sides.

80 - 8 = 8x + 8 - 8

72 = 8x

Finally, let's divide both sides by 8.

72/8 = 8x/8

9 = x

"x" is 9.

So the secret number is 9.

Answer:

The value of $y = 122^o$

The value of $x = 61^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally the total angle that make up a circle is

$\theta _T = 360$

From the diagram we see that

$\theta _T = y^o + 238^o$

=> $y^o = 360 -238$

$y^o = 122^o$

Generally angle that is formed as a result of interception of a chord and a tangent is equal to the intercepted arc divided by 2

This implies that

$x = \frac{y}{2}$

substituting values

$x = \frac{122}{2}$

$x = 61^o$
