Question

Is Emma on her way to the correct answer? If so solve for x.

Answer 1

• Emma is not correct

,

• x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram:

`(12x+6)+(3x-6)=180\degree`

Therefore, we say that Emma is not on her way to the correct answer.

The sum of the measure of the given angles is 180 degrees.

We can then solve for the correct value of x.

`\begin{gathered} 12x+3x+6-6=180 \\ 15x=180 \\ x=(180)/(15) \\ x=12\degree \end{gathered}`

The correct value of x is 12.
