Question

The ray pictured bisects the large angle into angles 1 and 2, (m₁ = 5x + 7) and (m₂ = 1 + 19). Solve for (x).

a) (x = 2)
b) (x = 3)
c) (x = 4)
d) (x = 5)

Answer 1

x is approximately equal to 2.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we have the equations:

5x + 7 = 1 + 19

5x = 19 - 7

5x = 12

x = 12/5

x = 2.4

Therefore, x is approximately equal to 2.4. None of the given options (a, b, c, d) match the value of x.
