Answer:
x = 7 and x = 16
Explanation:
the measure of a secant- secant angle is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
11
39 =
(17x + 6 - (7x - 2) ) ← multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction
78 = 17x + 6 - 7x + 2
78 = 10x + 8 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
70 = 10x ( divide both sides by 10 )
7 = x
12
54 =
(13x - 6 - (5x + 14) ) ← multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction
108 = 13x - 6 - 5x - 14
108 = 8x - 20 ( add 20 to both sides )
128 = 8x ( divide both sides by 8 )
16 = x
