Question

Whats the correct equation to solve for x

Answer 1

12x - 29 + 4x + 1 = 180

Explanation:

(12x - 29) and (4x + 1) are same- side interior angles and sum to 180° , then

12x - 29 + 4x + 1 = 180 ← is the equation to solve for x

16x - 28 = 180 ( add 28 to both sides )

16x = 208 ( divide both sides by 16 )

x = 13
