Exact answer: x = 35/3 (fraction form)

Approximate answer: x = 11.667 (decimal form)

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

Step-by-step explanation:

The inscribed angle AHP is exactly half that of the arc it cuts off, which is arc AP = 160.

inscribed angle = (1/2)*(arc measure)

angle AHP = (1/2)*(arc AP)

6x+10 = (1/2)*160

6x+10 = 80

6x = 80-10

6x = 70

x = 70/6

x = 35/3

x = 11.667 approximately
