Point P is the center of the circle in the figure above. What is the value of x?

Answer:

x = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, we need to create an equation.

Recall that the sum of all the 4 interior angles of a quadrilateral = 360°.

Therefore:

m<B + m<A + m<C + m<P = 360°

m<B = 20° (given)

m<C = 20° (given)

m<A = ½*x = x/2 (inscribed angle theorem)

m<P = (360 - x)°

Plug in the values and solve for x

[tex] 20 + \frac{x}{2} + 20 + (360 - x) = 360 [/tex]

[tex] 20 + \frac{x}{2} + 20 + 360 - x = 360 [/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex] 20 + 20 + 360 + \frac{x}{2} - x = 360 [/tex]

[tex] 400 + \frac{x}{2} - x = 360 [/tex]

Subtract 400 from each side

[tex] 400 + \frac{x}{2} - x - 400 = 360 - 400 [/tex]

[tex] \frac{x}{2} - x = -40 [/tex]

[tex] \frac{x - 2x}{2} = -40 [/tex]

[tex] \frac{-x}{2} = -40 [/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2

[tex] \frac{-x}{2} \times 2 = -40 \times 2 [/tex]

[tex] -x = -80 [/tex]

Divide both sides by -1

[tex] \frac{-x}{-1} = \frac{-80}{-1} [/tex]

[tex] x = 80 [/tex]

please I need some help with both questions.

please help!! I'm confused, ignore the math book thing. And it's asking what property it is, the associative property or the communitive property?

dudee plz help will be given the brainlist if answered correctly

Can any one help
