Question

Solve for x
please help!

Answer 1

x = 6°

Explanation:

7x + 5° = 47°, because of alternate exterior angles (We can use this because the lines are parallel). Since we know this, we can solve for x.

Solving this equation:

7x + 5 = 47 and if you subtract by 5 on both sides you would get that 7x = 42. From here, you divide 42 by 7 to get your answer. 42/7 = 6 so x = 6 degrees.

Note: I assumed that the angle 7x + 5 was 7x + 5°

Answer 2

Explanation:

As these are alternate angles hence we got that ,

both angles will be equal ,

7x+5 = 47

x= (47-5)/7

x=6 degree
