Question

Given mn, find the value of x.
(5x+8)°
(6x-18)⁰

Answer 1

Explanation:

This is easy,

all you need is to label all angles with letters.

Assuming we call the vertical opposite angle (6x - 18)° is equal to a,

then a = 6x - 18.

So, 6x - 18 = 5x + 8 (corresponding angles).

Collect like terms

6x - 5x = 8 + 18

x = 26°

Answer 2

x = 26

Explanation:

Alternate exterior angles are congruent (same measurement). Set them equal to each other and solve.

5x + 8 = 6x - 18 Subtract 5x from both side

5x - 5x + 8 = 6x - 5x -18

8 = x - 18 Add 18 to both sides

8 + 18 = x -18 + 18

26 = x
