Question

In the figure, shown, AD, CE, and FB intersect at point F. Find the value of x.

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

∡AB + ∡BC + ∡CD = 180°

∡CD = ∡AE

∡AB + ∡BC + ∡AE = 180°

(8x + 6)° + (6x + 2)° + (7x + 4)° = 180°

8x + 6 + 6x + 2 + 7x + 4 = 180

21x + 12 = 180

21x = 180 - 12

21x = 168

x = 8
