Question

Solve for X *(5x + 3)"(2x + 16)A) 23C) 22B) 21D) 27

Answer 1

The sum of angles on a line is 180 degrees. So, the sum of the angles 2x+16 and 5x+3 is 180 degrees . So

`\begin{gathered} 2x+16+5x+3=180 \\ (2x+5x)+(16+3)=180 \\ 7x+19=180 \\ 7x=180-19 \\ 7x=161 \\ x=(161)/(7)=23 \\ \end{gathered}`

The value of x is 23.
