Question

Solve for x




////////

Answer 1

Required Answer :

• x = - 9

Explanation:

From the given diagram x + 69 and 60 are the corresponding angles.

If a transversal intersect two parallel lines then the corresponding angles must be equal.

• x + 69 = 60

Subtract x from both the sides,

• x + 69 - x = 60 - x

Combine like terms,

• 69 = 60 - 1x

Add -60 on both sides

• 69 - 60 = 60 - 1x - 60

Combine like terms,

• 9 = -1x

Divide both sides by 1,

• x = -9

Hence, x = -9

Answer 2

x = -9

Explanation:

We Know

The 60° angle and the (x + 69) are Same Side Exterior angles, meaning they are equal.

Solve for x.

x + 69 = 60

x = -9
