that question is really badly formatted question but I'm gonna guess the quantity 7x+1is supposed to be in degrees

#

do you know how many degrees there are in a full circle?

ashen smelt
#

360

worthy lagoon
#

so in that case all the angle measurements should add up to be 360 right?

#

including that 7x+1 quantity

#

try using that to solve for x

ashen smelt
#

I got the answer

#

How do you do this

#

@worthy lagoon

worthy lagoon
#

if you look at the arc MJ that makes up half the circle same with KN, try using that info to find a value for x and from there you can find the angle measure of LIN

worthy lagoon
#

15x -4 is the angle LIM, so if you add that to KIL and JIK then you get 180

#

and JIK is also a section of NIK

ashen smelt
#

Hmm

#

Explain lil more @worthy lagoon

#

I’m confused

#

as rock

worthy lagoon
#

it's all good

#

so you need to find LIN, which is the same thing as adding the angles LIM and MIN

#

MIN is congruent to KIJ because they are made of the same line segments

#

and KIJ is part of both MIJ and NIK which both add to 180 degrees

#

so you can set up a system of equations

ashen smelt
#

What would that be

#

15x-4

worthy lagoon
#

let's call the angle of KIJ y

ashen smelt
#

ok

worthy lagoon
#

that means 26x - 5 + y = 180
and that 15x - 4 + 54 + y =180 also

#

so you can use that info to find what x and y each are by playing around with those 2 equations

ashen smelt
#

Hmm

#

Ok ok

#

Now we divide

#

??

worthy lagoon
#

if I were you I'd try subtracting the bottom equation from the top equation

#

so (26x + y - 5) - (15x + y + 50) = 180 - 180

ashen smelt
#

Okay

ashen smelt
#

Close

worthy lagoon
#

nice

ashen smelt
#

I got the answer @worthy lagoon

worthy lagoon
ashen smelt
#

This is confusing

#

Thanks you

#

How do I close this

worthy lagoon
#

I think an admin has to do it

#

IDK I just joined yesterday
