Answer 4

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 5

Is it C?

Answer 6

notice how the angle opposite the AD is 58 degrees

since CD < AD, this means that the angle opposite CD must be less than 58 degrees

Answer 7

the angle must also be positive, so,

0 < 5x + 3 < 58

Answer 8

solve 0 < 5x + 3 < 58 for x and tell me what you get

Answer 9

0 < 8x < 58

Answer 10

So A?

Answer 11

0 < 5x + 3 < 58

0-3 < 5x + 3-3 < 58-3

-3 < 5x < 55
