Answer:

AC = 33°

Explanation:

Given:

Arc AC = (7x - 2)°

m<ABC = (2.5x + 4)°

Required:

Measure of arc AC

Solution:

Based on the inscribed angle theorem,

m<ABC = ½(AC)

Substitute

2.5x + 4 = ½(7x - 2)

Multiply both sides by 2

2(2.5x + 4) = 7x - 2

5x + 8 = 7x - 2

Collect like terms

5x - 7x = -8 - 2

-2x = -10

Divide both sides by -2

x = -10/-2

x = 5

✔️Arc AC = (7x - 2)°

Substitute the value of x

AC = 7*5 - 2

AC = 35 - 2

AC = 33°
