Answer:
x = 1 which is D or the last one.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
Two angles that have the same endpoints on the circumference of a circle (in this case p and s) and touch the circumference with their respective vertexes (on the same side of the chord ps) are equal.
That is a very long way of saying that <R = <Q. Still it is well worth your time to read over the above sentence carefully.
That being said
Equation
5x + 6 = 9x + 2 Subtact 5x from both sides.
Solution
- 5x - 5x + 6 = 9x - 5x + 2 Collect like terms
- 6 = 4x + 2 Subtract 2 from both sides
- 6 - 2 = 4x + 2 - 2 Combine
- 4 = 4x Divide both sides by 4
- 4/4 = 4x/4 Combine
- 1 = x
