Answer:

arc HG = 40°

Explanation:

The inscribed angle HFG is one half the measure of its intercepted arc, that is

3x + 2 =
(1)/(2) (5x + 10) ( multiply both sides by 2 )

6x + 4 = 5x + 10 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x + 4 = 10 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = 6

Thus

arc HG = 5x + 10 = 5(6) + 10 = 30 + 10 = 40°
