Problem

Quadrilateral ABCDA B C D is cyclic. If ∠A=(2x+30)∘\angle A = (2x + 30)^{\circ} and ∠C=(5x+10)∘\angle C = (5x + 10)^{\circ}, find the value of xx. a) 3030 b) 2020 c) 1818 d) 2121
Intuitive explanation

In a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles are supplementary—they always sum to 180°180°. This is the key property that unlocks the problem: once you identify which angles are opposite, you can set up a single equation and solve for xx. Since AA and CC are opposite vertices, their angle measures must add to 180°180°.
