Question

It wants us to solve for x and i’m very confused

x= ?

Answer 1

x= 8/9

Explanation:

7x + 2 = 25x - 14

-7x -7x

2 = 18x - 14

+14 +14

16 = 18x

18 18

x=8/9

Answer 2

x = 6

Explanation:

∡J = ∡K and ∡M = ∡L

because this is an isosceles trapezoid

∡J + ∡M = 180°

because angles at opposite bases are supplementary

then ∡J + ∡M = 180°

∡J = (7x + 2)°

∡M = ∡L = (25x - 14)°

so:

(7x + 2 + 25x - 14)° = 180°

(32x - 12)° = 180°

32x = 180 + 12

32x = 192

x = 6
