Question

Help me pls!
find x and hurry im under a time limit

Answer 1

x=13 because the other side of the angle would also be 48 so set the equation to 48 and solve for x

Answer 2

x = 13

Explanation:

Using the 48° angle, we find out that the angle opposite of angle y° is also 48° according to the corresponding angles theorem. Then, you would subtract 48 from 180 to get the degrees of angle y, which would be 132°. Next, you need to subtract 132 from 180 to get the angle measure of the (5x - 17)° angle. (180 - 132 = 48) Once you have done that, all you have to do now is figure out what value of x makes it equal to the degree measure you found by subtracting 132 from 180. I tried it with x = 13, which came out as a correct answer. So x must be 13.

(5x - 17)°

(5(13) - 17)°

(65 - 17)°

(48)°

48°

The angle equals 48° and x equals 13.
