Question

Look at the diagram. D Solve for x. X = (8x) ° G 68x = Which equation can be used to solve for x? =80 E 60° F 8x + 60 90 8x + 60 180 = 8x = 60​

Answer 1

The equation needed to solve for x is : 8x + 60 = 180

Using the parameters given for our Calculation;

• DGE = 8x
• EGF = 60

Using the appropriate angle theorem;

• DGE + EGF = 180 (sum of angles in a triangle)

To solve for x , we input our values into the expression

• 8x + 60 = 180

8x = 180 - 60

8x = 120

x = 15

Therefore, the required expression is 8x + 60
