There are 12 jurors sitting in a circle. a crazed gunman comes in, but has only 11 bullets. he shoots a juror, then skips a living juror. he continues this process until only 1 juror remains alive. which juror remains alive? consider the same scenario with 1050 jurors and 1049 bullets. generalize.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
