-6y+17=3y-10

3

Step-by-step explanation:

-6y + 17 = 3y - 10

+6y          +6y

17 = 9y - 10

+10       +10

9y = 27

divide both sides by 9

y = 3

a = 49°

Step-by-step explanation:

OB = OC ( both radii of the circle ), thus

Δ BOC is isosceles and the base angles are congruent, that is

∠ OBC = ∠ OCB = 41° , so

∠ BOC = 180° - (2 × 41)° = 180° - 82° = 98°

The angle on the circumference BAC is half the angle at the centre for angles subtended on the same arc , thus

a = 0.5 × 98° = 49°
