Question

Find the value of x
Show work.

Answer 1

x=64

Explanation:

We know that the two angles are alternate exterior angles. This means that they are equal.

2x-10=x+54

x=64

Answer 2

Answer: 64

Explanation:

Opposite exterior angles are equivalent to each other. You can 'eyeball' this by rotating one of the angles. Alright, so equate the two angles to each other:

`2x-10=x+54`

Add 10 to both sides:

`2x=x+64`

Subtract 'x' on both sides:

`x=64`
