Question

Which equation represents the relationship between the angles shown below?

Answer 1

4x + 44 = 180

Explanation:

sum of angles on a straight line = 180

4x + 44 = 180

subtract 44 from both sides

4x + 44 - 44 = 180 - 44

4x = 136

Divide both sides by the coeficient of x

4x = 136

4 4

x = 34

Answer 2

4x + 44 = 180

Explanation:

4x = 180- 44

4x = 136

x= 136÷ 4

x= 34
