Question

Solve for x. please help asap we have a test on these tomorrow and i have no idea what’s going on.

Answer 1

X = 2

Explanation:

As the lines are perpendicular...

90 = 43 + 2x + 7

Solve for x by making x the subject.

90 - 43 - 7 = 2x

40 = 2x

40/2 = x

20 = x

therefore, x = 2

Answer 2

x = 20°

Explanation:

You know the horizontal line is 180°. If the left side of the horizontal line is 90° (right angle), then the right side of the horizontal line should be 90° too. (180° - 90° = 90°)

Thus, 90° = 43° + 2x + 7°

2x = 90° - 43° - 7°

= 40°

x = 40° ÷ 2

x = 20°
