Question

Please help when there are two x's i get confused. answer #3 with an answer!

Answer 1

x = 1

Explanation:

We know that the two angles must be equal to each other. So:

65x - 12 = 43x + 10

First add 12 to both sides:

65x - 12 + 12 = 43x + 10 + 12

65x = 43x + 22

Then subtract 43x from both sides:

65x - 43x = 43x - 43x + 22

22x = 22

x = 1
