Question

Solve for x.
3x - 3
4x - 6
X =
= [?]

Answer 1

3x-3 and 4x-6 are complementary angles meaning together they add up to 180°. Set them equal to each other. So you get 3x-3=4x-6 now simplify this. Now you have x=3 and there you have it! If you plug 3 into x in both equations it works! Hope this helps!

Answer 2

x=27

Explanation:

Same side exterior angles are supplementary when the lines are parallel

3x-3 + 4x-6 = 180

7x -9 =180

Add 9 to each side

7x-9+9 = 180+9

7x = 189

Divide each side by 7

7x/7 = 189/7

x =27
