Question

Please help me find x

Answer 1

Answer is 3x because u do 12-9 which gets three and since it was originally 12x and you don’t know what X is you just put the x on the 3 and get 3x

Answer 2

The value of angle
`\( X \) is \( 84^\circ \),`and the value of
`\( x \) is \( 7.75 \).`

In a kite, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180 degrees) because a kite has two distinct pairs of adjacent congruent sides.

Given the kite XYZW , with the angles marked as:

`- Angle \( X = (12x - 9)^\circ \)`

`- Angle \( Y = 96^\circ \)`

`- Angle \( Z = (17x + 3)^\circ \)`

Since X and Y are adjacent, they are supplementary. Therefore:

`\[ (12x - 9) + 96 = 180 \]`

Now, let's solve for x :

`\[ 12x - 9 + 96 = 180 \]`

`\[ 12x + 87 = 180 \]`

`\[ 12x = 180 - 87 \]`

`\[ 12x = 93 \]`

`\[ x = (93)/(12) \]`

`\[ x = 7.75 \]`

So,
`\( x = 7.75 \).` Now, we can calculate the angle X using the value of x :

`\[ X = 12(7.75) - 9 \]`

`\[ X = 93 - 9 \]`

`\[ X = 84^\circ \]`
