Question

Find the value of x in the picture

Answer 1

x = 9

Explanation:

49 degrees and (5x + 4) are vertical lines, meaning they are congruent.

We can make an equation with this information:

(5x + 4) = 49

-4 -4

5x = 45

/5 /5

x = 9

Answer 2

x = 9

Explanation:

5x+4 = 49

subtract 4 from both sides

5x = 45

divide both sides by 5

x = 9
