To find the value of \( x \), we first need to express the relationship between the angles in terms of the total angle around point \( O \).
Given:
- \( m\angle XOZ = 72^\circ \)
- \( m\angle YOZ = 40^\circ \)
- \( m\angle XOY = (5x + 16)^\circ \)
We know that the sum of angles around point \( O \) is \( 360^\circ \):
\[ m\angle XOY + m\angle XOZ + m\angle YOZ = 360^\circ \]
Substituting the known angles into the equation:
\[ (5x + 16) + 72 + 40 = 360 \]
Combine like terms:
\[ 5x + 128 = 360 \]
Now, subtract \( 128 \) from both sides:
\[ 5x = 360 - 128 \] \[ 5x = 232 \]
Next, divide both sides by \( 5 \) to solve for \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{232}{5} = 46.4 \]
Considering the options provided, none of them match \( 46.4 \). Let's double-check the arrangement of angles and simplify from the correct relationship:
Since we calculate each contribution around O:
\[ m\angle XOY + 72 + 40 = 180^\circ \]
for half-circle considerations: \[ m\angle XOY = 360 - (72 + 40) \] \[ m\angle XOY = 360 - 112 = 248 \]
If \( m\angle XOY = 248 = 5x + 16\), our next step:
\[ 5x = 248 - 16 \] \[ 5x = 232 \] \[ x = \frac{232}{5} = 46.4 \]
Confirms our calculations correctly. Therefore, if additional breakdown or options confirmed, reconcile for angles correctly fitting the relationships or clarify problem scope. The suspect resolution doesn't close within a circle's cyclical equation, hence plex are options from the list, check for any errors in calculations or given arrangements. It is verified, establishing no valid option close to calculated response aligns. Total basis was \( x=46.4 \) itself summation direct derives closer to problem closure yet nothing holds limitations of evaluations.
