Question

3. Given: BAM is a right angle. If m BAM=4x+22, then solve for the value of x.

Answer 1

Answer: 17 degrees

Explanation:

<BAM is a right angle. A right angle is defined to be 90 degrees.

So...

<BAM = 4x + 22 is transformed to 90 = 4x + 22

90 = 4x + 22

4x = 90 - 22

4x = 68

x = 17 degrees

Answer 2

`\angle BAM=4x+22`

Right angle means that the angle is equal to 90 degrees

We will thus proceed by equating BAM = 90 degrees, we have:

`\begin{gathered} 4x+22=90 \\ \text{Subtract 22 from both sides, we have:} \\ 4x+22-22=90-22 \\ 4x=68 \\ \text{divide through both sides by 4, we have:} \\ (4x)/(4)=(68)/(4) \\ x=17^(\circ) \end{gathered}`

x = 17
