Answer: x = 140 (choice C)

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Focus on the upper semicircle. It's composed of the arc pieces that are 30 degrees, x degrees, and y degrees. The y is the missing unmarked portion of the upper semicircle.

Subtract the 30 and y degree angles, divide by 2, and set that result equal to 10. This will help us solve for y

(30-y)/2 = 10

30-y = 10*2

30-y = 20

-y = 20-30

-y = -10

y = 10

Because the 30, x and y arcs form a semicircle, this must mean the three arcs add to 180 degrees

30+x+y = 180

30+x+10 = 180

x+40 = 180

x = 180-40

x = 140
