How do you find the value for x?
Find the value of x ?

Answer 1

27°

Explanation:

They are in a straight line , therefore ,

> 5x + 2 + x + 16 = 180

> 6x + 18 = 180

> 6x = 180 - 18

> 6x = 162

> x = 27

Hence the required answer is 27°

Answer 2

x = 27

Explanation:

Both angles together form 180 degree.

Set your formula up as

180 = (5x+2) + (x + 16)

180 = 5x + 2 + x + 16

180 = 6x + 18

180 - 18 = 6x

162 = 6x

162/6 = x

27 = x
