Answer:

CORRECT ans is x=12

Explanation:

mAC=130

mAC is the central angle = 2 * inscribed angle, <ABC

2 * <ABC=130

<ABC=65

ABCD is an inscribed quadrilateral so its opposite angles are supplemental

<ABC + <ADC=180

65+9x+7=180

9x=108

x=12

Answer:

x = 12

Explanation:

The mistake made here is in making 130 = 9x + 7. They are not the same.

The central angle = 130 degrees.

Any angle sharing the endpoints of the central angle and having it's vertex on the same side of the central angle is 1/2 the central angle.

1/2 the central angle = 130 /2 = 65

Cyclic quadrilaterals (those with all 4 points touching a circle's circumference) have opposite angles supplementary.

65 + 9x + 7 = 180 Combine like terms on the left

72 + 9x = 180 Subtract 72 from both sides

72 - 72 + 9x = 180-72 Combine

9x = 108 Divide by 9

9x/9 = 108/9

x = 12
