Question

Solve for x

solve for x

Answer 1

x = 27

Explanation:

3x - 3 and 4x - 6 are same- side exterior angles and sum to 180° , that is

3x - 3 + 4x - 6 = 180

7x - 9 = 180 ( add 9 to both sides )

7x = 189 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 27

Answer 2

I WILL USE THE REASONS CORRESPONDING ANGLES AND ANGLES ON THE STRAIGHT LINE. SINCE THE DIAGRAM LACKS FULL LABELLING THAT MAKES ME UNABLE TO EXPLAIN MORE USING DEMONSTRATION

`3x - 3 + (4x - 6) = 180 \\ 3x + 4x - 3 - 6 =180 \\ 7x - 9 = 180 \\ 7x = 180 + 9 \\ 7x = 189 \\ (7x)/(7) = (189)/(7) \\ x = 27`

ATTACHED IS THE SOLUTION x=27°
