Using the formula for the angle of a secant and tangent line

Angle V = (TW - UW)/2

Write the formula with the given information:

3x+4 = (14x+7 - 7x+11)/2

Simplify:

3x+ 4 = (7x -4)/2

Multiply both sides by 2:

6x + 8 = 7x-4

Add 4 to both sides:

6x+12 = 7x

Subtract 6x from both sides:

X = 12

Now replace x with 12 in angle v:

3(12) +4 = 35 + 4 = 40

The answer is A) 40
