Question

Solve for x
simple geometry

Answer 1

From the above attachment we can conclude that,

`(2x - 10)° + (4x + 16)° = 180° \\ 2x - 10 + 4x + 16 = 180 \\ 2x + 4x - 10 + 16 = 180 \\ 6x + 6 = 180 \\ 6x = 180 - 6 \\ 6x = 174 \\x = (174)/(6) \\ \boxed{x = 29}`

Therefore, the value of x is 29

• x = 29 is the right answer.

Answer 2

Explanation:

`2x - 10 + 4x + 16 = 180 \\ \\ 4x - 2x + 16 + 10 = 180 \\ \\ 2x = 180 - 26 \\ \\ 2x = 154 \\ \\ x = (154)/(2) \\ \\ x = 77`
