Question

The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. Solve for x.

(2x+16) 48degrees

Answer 1

x = 16

Explanation:

(2x + 16) = 48

Subtract 16 with the positive 16 to cancel the numbers.

Subtract 16 with 48.

2x = 32

divide 32 by 2 to isolate the x.

32/2 = 16

x = 16
