Question

Two lines are intersecting. What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box. Two straight lines intersecting each other where the consecutive angles formed are x plus twenty three degrees and two x plus four degrees.

Answer 1

x = 51

Explanation:

Supplementary angles total 180º

(2x + 4) + (x + 23) = 180

Combine like terms

3x + 27 = 180

Subtract 27 from both sides

3x = 153

Divide both sides by 3

x = 51

Answer 2

Hello! x = 51

Explanation:

OMG I CAN ANSWER FINALLY!

it is forming a supplementary angle meaning it will add up to 180 degrees

51 × 2 = 102 102 + 4 = 106

51 + 23 = 74

106 + 74 = 180 therefore x = 51 Hope that helps.
