Question

18. Find the measure of ZWZX. Show your work.

48 degrees
8x-3
18x+5

Answer 1

<X = 48 degrees, <Y = 8X-3, W = 18X+5

Since it's a triangle we know that it equals 180 degrees.

So take 8X-3+18X+5+48=180

Add your like terms together which makes, 26X+50=180

Now you're going to subtract 50 from 180 which leaves you with 26X=130

Now divide your sums which leaves you X which = 5

You should be able to plug X back into your equation to find <Z. Hope this helps.
