Answer:

  • x = 19
  • x = 34
  • x = 39

Explanation:

1. A right angle has a measure of 90°. The whole is the sum of the parts.

(2x +3)° +49° = 90°

2x +52 = 90 . . . . . . . . divide by °, collect terms

2x = 38 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 52

x = 19 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

__

2. A linear pair measures 180°. The whole is the sum of the parts.

(x -5)° +151° = 180°

x +146 = 180 . . . . . . . divide by °, collect terms

x = 34 . . . . . . . . .subtract 146

__

3. We presume this pair of angles is supposed to be supplementary. That is, their sum is 180°.

64° +(3x -1)° = 180°

3x +63 = 180 . . . . . . . divide by °, collect terms

3x = 117 . . . . . . . . subtract 63

x = 39 . . . . . divide by 3
