Question

use the diagram below to write an expression that is used to find X directions to simplify your expression

Answer 1

Since both angles lay in the same line, they are supplementary.

This means they add up to 180°

Therefore,

`x-1+2x+1=180`

Solving for x :

`\begin{gathered} x-1+2x+1=180 \\ \rightarrow3x=180\rightarrow x=(180)/(3) \\ \Rightarrow x=60 \end{gathered}`

We get that x = 60
