Question

Given: angle COB=3x+16 and angle AOD=5x-42
Prove: x=29​

Answer 1

if your asking how to get 29 then here is how

Explanation:

Evaluate

3x+16=5x−42

Move the variable to the left side

3x+16−5x=−42

Subtract the terms

−2x+16=−42

Move the constant to the right side

−2x=−42−16

Subtract the terms

−2x=−58

Divide both sides

2x divided by -2

-58 divided by 2

Solution

x=29
