we will use the same method and knowledge from before

a straight line forms the angle 180°, so we know that both angles will add up to 180°
We can use this knowledge to have that

3x+18 + 4x+15 = 180

We then simplify

7x + 33 = 180

7x = 147

x = 21

Hey there!


3x + 18 + 4x + 15 = 180°


COMBINE the LIKE TERMS

(3x + 4x) + (18 + 15) = 180°


3x + 4x + 18 + 15 = 180°


7x + 33 = 180°


SUBTRACT 33 to BOTH SIDES

7x + 33 - 33 = 180 - 33


CANCEL out: 33 - 33 because it give you 0


KEEP: 180 - 33 because it help solve for the x-value


NEW EQUATION: 7x = 147


DIVIDE 7 to BOTH SIDES

7x/7 = 147/7


CANCEL out: 7/7 because it gives you 1

KEEP: 147/7 because it help solve for the x-value


NEW EQUATION: x = 147/7


SIMPLIFY IT!

x = 21


Therefore, your overall answer is: x = 21


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
