Question

If the shared side between angles 1 and 2 has a measure of 2x+7 and the shared side between angles 3 and 4 has a measure of 7x+3, what is the value of X?

Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

• x = 0.8

Explanation:

Both mentioned sides have equal length as opposite sides of a parallelogram.

Set equation and solve for x:

• 2x + 7 = 7x + 3
• 7x - 2x = 7 - 3
• 5x = 4
• x = 4/5
• x = 0.8
