Question

Solve for w
5w.+ 36°
Зw

Answer 1

w=18

Explanation:

So, lets go over what we know:

A line is 180 degrees.

5w+36 is the first part of the line.

3w is the other part of the line.

So 5w+36 and 3w is 180 degrees.

We can write this as:

5w+36+3w=180

Combine the 5w and 3w:

8w+36=180

Subtract 36 from both sides:

8w=144

Divide 8 from both sides to get w alone:

w=144/8

=

w=18

Hope this helps!
