Answer:
see below
Explanation:
Angle C is equal to the 1/2 the difference of the two arcs
C = 1/2 ( large DC - small DC)
Large DC = ( 360 - 5x - 2) sum of a circle is 360 degrees
Small DC = 5x-2 the central angle is equal to the intercepted arc
C = 1/2 ( 360 - 5x-2 - ( 5x -2)) Angle Formed by Two Intersecting Chords
C = 1/2 ( 360 - 2 ( 5x-2))
Distributing the 1/2
C = 180 - (5x-2)
Replacing the C with 2x+7
2x+7 = 180 - (5x-2)
Add 5x-2 to each side
2x+7 +5x-2 = 180
Antonio is correct
Combine like terms
7x +5 = 180
7x = 175
Divide by 7
x =25
Then solve for A = 5x-2
A = 5*25-2
= 125-2
= 123
