1) The measures of the opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary, add up to 180.

That means that angle ROP and angle RQP are supplementary.

We can add them and set them equal to 180 so that we can solve for x first.

∠ROP + RQP = 180
x + 17 + 6x - 5 = 180
7x + 12 = 180
7x = 168
x = 24

Now use the 24 for x and solve for the measure of angle ROP.

∠ROP = x + 17
∠ROP = 24 + 17
∠ROP = 41

The answer is A

2) The answer is A.

Hope this helps :)
