Question

Help pls lol 31. What is the value of x?
(2x + 24)°
142°
(1 point)

Answer 1

59

Explanation:

The angle measures (2x + 24) and 142 are equal to each other since we are looking at a line being cut by a "transversal" So, set them to equal each other like so:

2x + 24 = 142

Now solve:

2x + 24 = 142

2x = 118

x = 59

Answer 2

a) x = 59

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ find the required value of x.

We know that,

→ opposite angles are always equal.

Then the value of x will be,

→ 2x + 24° = 142°

→ 2x = 142° - 24°

→ 2x = 118°

→ x = 118/2

→ [ x = 59 ]

Hence, the value of x is 59.
