Question

Solve for x.x = [?]?x + 105x - 16X + 10-

Answer 1

We have to solve for x.

We have two angles that form a linear pair, so when added together they have a measure of 180°.

We then can write:

`m\angle1+m\angle2=180\degree`

Replacing the measures by the corresponding expressions, we can solve for x as:

`\begin{gathered} (5x-16)+(x+10)=180 \\ 5x+x-16+10=180 \\ 6x-6=180 \\ 6x=180+6 \\ 6x=186 \\ x=(186)/(6) \\ x=31 \end{gathered}`

Answer: x = 31
