Question

Help please

you are given that measure of angle two is 13x and measure of angle four is 4x-27...Solve for x...

Answer 1

Answer: x = 12.176 (approximate)

========================================

Angle 2 and angle 4 are adjacent angles and they also form a straight line, so this means they add to 180 degrees

(angle2)+(angle4) = 180

(13x)+(4x-27) = 180

(13x+4x)-27 = 180

17x-27 = 180

17x-27+27 = 180+27 ... add 27 to both sides

17x = 207

17x/17 = 207/17 .... divide both sides by 27

x = 12.176
