Answer:

x = 9

Explanation:

JL is the diameter of the circle and subtends an angle of 180°

the arc JKL is then 180° ( equal to central angle )

sum the parts of the arc , that is JK and KL and equate to 180

JK + KL = 180 ( substitute values )

5x + 23 + 17x - 41 = 180 ( simplify left side )

22x - 18 = 180 ( add 18 to both sides )

22x = 198 ( divide both sides by 22 )

x = 9
