Answer:

x=-11

What we know=

Angles A'=x+51

Angle B=60

Angle C=80

Angle B' and C'=?

Due to the vertically opposite angle rule, we know angle B' and C' are the same as angle B and C.

So, angle B' is 60 degrees. Angle C' is 80 degrees.

We can add them together to get 140 degrees.

So we have 140, x+51. We can make an equation.


180=140+51+x We can combine like terms (140 and 51) to get 191

A triangle only adds up to 180 degrees. So now you can subtract 180-191=to get x.

Answer:

X equals negative 11

Explanation:

The angles in a triangle add up to be 180 degrees, and we already have 80 as one angle and 60 as the other. That equals 140 degrees. But now we have x+51. That would equal 191 degrees, so 191-180=11, so x= -11
