Question

Solve for x in the diagram below.

Answer 1

=x+12+100+x =180

=x+x+12+100=180

=2x+112=180

=2x=180-112

=2x=68

=2/2x=68/2

=x=34

Answer 2

x = 34

Explanation:

A straight line is 180 degrees

We can sum angles to form a straight line

x+12 + 100 +x = 180

Combine like terms

2x+112 = 180

2x+112-112 = 180-112

2x = 68

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 68/2

x = 34
