Question

MVUT =175, mVUJ=17x-3, and mJUT=17x+8. Find x

Answer 1

The diagram of the three angles is shown below with point U as the point where all three lines meet.

Angles property: Angles around a point add up to 360°

We set up an equation


`175+17x-3+17x+8=360`

`180+34x=360`

`34x=360-180`

`34x=180`

`x= (180)/(34)= (90)/(17)`
