Question

Lines DE and AB intersect at point C
What is the value of x?
(2x2)
16x+3)

Answer 1

9.7

Explanation:

Here is the correct question with picture attached: Lines DE and AB intersect at point C

What is the value of x?

(2x+2) °

(16x+3)°

Now, finding the value of x.

∠ACE+∠ECB= 180° (∵ They form a straight line angle)

∴
`(2x+2)+(16x+3)= 180`

Opeing the parethesis.

⇒
`2x+2+16x+3= 180`

⇒
`18x+5= 180`

subtracting 5 on both side.

⇒
`18x= 175`

cross multiplying the number

⇒x=
`(175)/(18)`

∴x= 9.7
