Do you have the pic of this?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

With any inscribed quadrilateral, the opposite angles add to 180 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i can just say that the answer is 90 degrees?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

angle O + angle Q = 180 use that to find angle O

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

first you'll have to find x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk how

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

add the expression for angle O to the expression to angle Q

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

set that equal to 180 solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2x)+(2x+4) (y)+(3y+8) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just the first part of that

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

(2x)+(2x+4) = 180 solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk how to solve for x!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

deos x equal 44?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

have a look at this page http://regentsprep.org/regents/math/algebra/ae2/lsolveq.htm

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, x = 44

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now use that to find angle O
