#GeometryProblem101 - How do i even begin to figure the formula?

35 = 1/2(84 - x) 70 = 84 - x x = 14 The formula for two secants is 1/2 the difference of the two intercepted arcs. So, angle Y = 1/2 (arc VW - arc XZ) I called arc XZ = x

How did you solve that though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In my first equation, I want to get rid of the 1/2. So I multiplied both sides of the equation by 2.

Is this correct or do I have to do the same equation as the top one?
