Question

does anyone know how to solve this? and if so can you put an explanation? ive been struggling with this question for a while

Answer 1

x = 31

Explanation:

So, the angle of a line is 180 degrees. This is a very important fact, because this means that (5x - 16) + (x + 10) = 180 degrees.

Note: The parenthesizes are not needed, but I put them there to symbolize the adding of those two angles that make up the line.

Adding like terms, we get:

6x - 6 = 180

Move the -6 over to the right side.

We get:

6x = 186

Dividing both sides by 6, we get the value of x:

x = 31
