Quadrilateral OPQR is inscribed in circle N. What is the measure of RQP?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180 = (2x +19) + (6x - 5) 180 = 2x + 19 + 6x - 5 8x + 14 I'm stuck here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do I subtract 14 from 180?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

166/8 = 8x/8 Then I'm getting x = 20.75?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold brb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is what I'm doing correct? I'm confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

$2x+19+\left(6x-5\right)=180$2x+19+(6x−5)=180 $\mathrm{Refine}$Refine $8x+14=180$8x+14=180 $\mathrm{Subtract\:}14\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$Subtract 14 from both sides $8x+14-14=180-14$8x+14−14=180−14 $8x=166$8x=166 $\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}8$Divide both sides by 8 $\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{166}{8}$8x8 =1668 $x=\frac{83}{4}$x=8/34

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm still confused. How is x = 8/34? I have to substitute x into the next formula.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x+19+(6x−5)=180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8x+14=180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8x=166

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=834

OpenStudy (anonymous):

83/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So then it would be (2(83/4) +19) + (6x - 5)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think

OpenStudy (error1603):

Hey @usercode3rror

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey @error1603

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey @Eroor1603

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Error1603 hey bro

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but wouldn't simplifying 166/8 = 20.75? I don't know this is my first time working this out so you are probably correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

166/8 reduces

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then it would be (41.5 + 19) + (6x - 5)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay

OpenStudy (error1603):

Okay, so opposite angles in inscribed quadrilaterals are supplementary (adding up to 180 degrees). So...set up an equation using angles ROP and RQP. Solve for x: (x + 17) + (6x - 5) = 180 Then...plug the value of x into the equation for angle QRO, which is (2x + 19), and solve.

OpenStudy (error1603):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I already set it up. This is what I have so far. 180 = (2x + 19) + (6x - 5) 180 = 2x + 19 + 6x - 5 8x + 14 166 = 8x x = 83/4 (2(83/4) + 19) + (6x - 5) (41.5 + 19) + (6x - 5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just need someone to tell me if I'm doing this correctly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all u need to do is solve now

OpenStudy (error1603):

x + 17) + (6x - 5) = 180 7x+12 = 180 7x = 168 x = 24 (2x + 19) 2(24) + 19 48 + 19 This is my way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

$\left(41.5+19\right)+\left(6x-5\right)=6x+55.5$(41.5+19)+(6x−5)=6x+55.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6x+55.5​

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But that's not correct @Error1603 That's for angle OPQ.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm trying to solve for RQP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=6x+55.5​

OpenStudy (error1603):

oooooh okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does RQP = 119.5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea @Error1603 lol

OpenStudy (error1603):

I got 67

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Error1603 How did you get 67?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=\frac{12x+111}{2}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here katniss

OpenStudy (error1603):

Sorry that for OPQR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180 = (2(83/4) + 19) 180 = (41.5 + 19) 180 = 60.5 RQP = 119.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@usercode3rror I only see letters

OpenStudy (error1603):

I'm messing up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Error1603 it's okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ima solve it foe u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I just solved it omg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just need you to tell me if it's right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I wouldn't round to 119?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no round to 120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this was fun
