Answer:
9 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>OK so we know that m<AOB is equal to the equation 10x+4. With this in mind, we also know that m<COB equals 6x-3. The ray OC intersects m<AOB, so this means that m<COB plus m<COA equals m<AOB.</em></u>
<em><u>First, we find m<COA by reversing the equation around to solve for m<COA.</u></em>
m<AOB - m<COB = m<COA
<em><u>Then, we Pug in the angles and solve.</u></em>
m<AOB = 10x+4
m<COB = 6x-3
10x+4 - 6x-3 = 4x+1
Here is where things get interesting. See those 2 lines in each angle? That means they are equal in measure.
So what you do is simple, find what x equals in order to make this equation below true.
6x-3 = 4x+1
<u>The answer for x is 2. So then just plug in to solve for m<COA and you're done!!</u>
4(2)+1 =9
<em>lil bonus: you can also get the same angle degree by plugging 2 into m<COB</em>
