Question

So, I figured out X

so I just need help with what (x+17)°=

and what (3x-31)°​

Answer 1

x°=24°

Explanation:

Solution,

(x+17)°=(3x-31)° because vertically opposite angles are always equal.

x°+17°=3x°-31°

by subtracting 17 from both, sides we get

x°+17°-17°=3x-32°-17°

x°=3x°-49°

by subtracting 3x from both sides, we get

x°-3x°=3x°-48°-3x°

-2x°=-48°

by dividing both sides with -2, we get

-2x°/-2=-48°/-2

x°=24°

Answer 2

Opposite angles are same.

`\\ \sf\longmapsto x+17=3x-31`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 17+31=3x-x`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x=48`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto x=(48)/(2)=24m`
