1. solve for x:
3(2x – 1) – 10 = 8 + 5x
a. -7
b. -3
c. 19
d. 21

(D) 21

Explanation:

3(2x−1)−10=8+5x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(2x−1)−10=8+5x

(3)(2x)+(3)(−1)+−10=8+5x(Distribute)

6x+−3+−10=8+5x

(6x)+(−3+−10)=5x+8(Combine Like Terms)

6x+−13=5x+8

6x−13=5x+8

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

6x−13−5x=5x+8−5x

x−13=8

Step 3: Add 13 to both sides.

x−13+13=8+13

x=21

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq

i think it might be a but you might want a second opinion
