Question

45 degrease (2x-5) what is the value of x

Answer 1

To solve this problem, you set up the equation 45+(2x-5)=180

Next, subtract 45 from 180 to get the equation 2x-5=135

After that, add 5 to 135 to get 2x=140

Diviode 140 by 2 to get X=70

Answer 2

x=70

Explanation:

45 degree and 2x-5 are inside the parallel lines

45 abd 2x-5 are consecutive interior angles

Two consecutive interior angles are supplementary

So the sum of two angle are equal to 180 degree

`45+2x-5= 180`

Combine like terms

`40+2x= 180`

Subtract 40 from both sides

`2x= 140`

Divide both sides by 2

`x=70`
