Question

What is the value of x? (6x)° 42°

Answer 1

`x\text{ = 8}`

Here, we want to get the value of x

Looking at the image, the two angles form a right angle

What this mean is that they add up to give 90 degrees

Mathematically, we have it that;

`\begin{gathered} 6x\text{ + 42 = 90} \\ 6x\text{ = 90-42} \\ 6x\text{ = 48} \\ x\text{ = }(48)/(6) \\ x\text{ = 8} \end{gathered}`
