What does x equal?
2x + 5x – 4= 17

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5x - 4 = 17      (Given)

7x - 4 = 17              (Simplify)

7x - 4 + 4 = 17 + 4  (Add 4 on both sides)

7x = 21                   (Simplify)

7x/7 = 21/7             (Divide 7 on both sides)

x = 3                      (Simplify)

< coa = 150 ( given)

as ba and bc are tangents

so oc and oa is perpendicular to cb and ab respectively because in circle normal passes through centre

so in quadrilateral oabc

< coa + < oab + < ocb + < abc = 360

150 +90+90 + < abc = 360

330 + < abc = 360

< abc = 360 -330 = 30

so < abc = 30
