Question

Elena and Diego each wrote equations to represent these diagrasolve it. You can assume that angles that look like right anglesa35°to

Answer 1

∠35 and ∠w are vertical angles, therefore:

`\angle w=35`

Since ∠w and ∠x are supplementary, we can conclude:

`\begin{gathered} \angle w+\angle x=180 \\ 35+x=180 \end{gathered}`

Therefore:

Diego has written the correct equation.
