Answer:

x = 9

Explanation:

You want the measure of x, given inscribed angle (8x-9)° subtends an arc of measure (19x-45)°.

Inscribed angle

An inscribed angle has half the measure of the arc it subtends. This tells us the arc measure is twice the angle measure:

2(8x -9)° = (19x -45)°

16x -18 = 19x -45 . . . . . divide by °, eliminate parentheses

27 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . add 45-16x

9 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

The value of x is 9.

__

Additional comment

The inscribed angle is 63°; the arc is 126°.
