Question

Help with #4 please i’ve done it a million times and it’s still wrong

Answer 1

x = 9

Explanation:

A segment joining the midpoints of 2 sides of a triangle is

Parallel to the third side

then the 2 angles are same- side interior angles and sum to 180° , that is

16x - 33 + 8x - 3 = 180

24x - 36 = 180 ( add 36 to both sides )

24x = 216 ( divide both sides by 24 )

x = 9
