Answer:

B. 9

Explanation:

We know that a full circle should equal 360°, that'll help!

Since the 140°+3x+13 should equal to 180, because that makes the half of the circle it covers, we know how to set up our equation!

It should look like this:

3x+13=40

ISOLATE YOUR VARIABLE:

- Subtract 13 from both sides

NEXT, CONTINUE ISOLATING:

3x=27

- Divide by 3 from both sides.

FINALLY:

You will get X=9!
