Answer:

x = 13

Explanation:

Given angles are,

→ 3x + 79°

→ 2(x + 18)° = 2x + 36°

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of x.

We know that,

Sum of all angles in a line is 180°.

Forming the equation,

→ (3x + 79°) + (2x + 36°) = 180°

Then the value of x will be,

→ (3x + 79°) + (2x + 36°) = 180°

→ 3x + 79° + 2x + 36° = 180°

→ (3x + 2x) + (79 + 36)° = 180°

→ 5x + 115° = 180°

→ 5x = 180° - 115°

→ 5x = 65

→ x = 65/5

→ [ x = 13 ]

Hence, the value of x is 13.

Answer:

x = 13

Explanation:

2(x + 18) and (3x + 79) are a linear pair and sum to 180° , that is

2(x + 18) + 3x + 79 = 180

2x + 36 + 3x + 79 = 180

5x + 115 = 180 ( subtract 115 from both sides )

5x = 65 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 13
