Question

What is the value of x?
help would be so appreciated

Answer 1

x = 23

Explanation:

The two angles are supplementary angles.

Supplementary angles sum 180°

(6x+4) + 38 = 180

6x + 42 = 180

6x = 180 - 42

6x = 138

x = 138/6

x = 23

Check:

6*23 + 4 + 38 = 180

138 + 42 = 180

Answer 2

• x = 23

Explanation:

We know that the sum of angles of a linear pair is always equal to 180°. These angles are also known as supplementary angles.

`\bf 6x+4+38^o=180^o` (Add numbers)

`\bf 6x+42=180` (Simplify)

`\bf 6x+42-42=180-42`(Subtract both sides by 42)

`\bf 6x=138` (Simplify)

`\bf \cfrac{6x}{6}=\cfrac{138}{6}` (Divide both sides by 6)

`\bf x=23`

Therefore, x = 23.
