If you don't double check your answers by substituting them back into the original equation, you may be introducing extraneous solutions into the problem which is why you should always check to confirm your answer is accurate. I hope this helps! :)
Answer: x = 11
To start, we know that a whole circle equals 360 degrees. If we subtract the 2 arcs we know, 85 and 31, we have 244 degrees left for the 2 congruent arcs. Dividing that by 2 gives us 122 for each arc.
Now, write the equation: 122 = 13x - 21
Solve this, to find the x = 11.
x=3.95
Explanation
From the given information we find that the triangle is right angled at C. CB is the base,AC is the height and AB is the hypotenuse.
Given that D is the hypotenuse of the hypotenuse AB.
BC=6
BD=4.2
AD=x
the height and the base of the triangle is given.
Using pythagoras theorem, we can find the hypotenuse AB.

D is the midpoint of AB
therefore AD=AB/2=
=3.905
x=3.905 cm
