Question

What is x ? 15 POINTS

Answer 1

Answer: I believe x=10

Answer 2

x = 10°

Explanation:

The internal angles of the triangle are

46°, 8x-2 and y

By looking at the picture, we can see that

11x +14 + y = 180°

so

y = 180° - 11x -14 = 166 -11x

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle equals 180°, so

46 + 8x - 2 + 166 -11x = 180°

Solving for x

-3x = 180 - 166 -46 + 2 ===> -3x = -30 ===> x = (-30)/(-3) = 10

So x = 10°
