Answer:

(B) 2x + 90 = 180 is an equation that could be used to find x.

Explanation:

Observing at the triangle, we can see that..

- We are aware of two angel measurements, both of which are 45 degrees.

One triangle is exactly 180 degrees and if you add both 2 angel measurements from the triangles...

45 + 45 = 90 degrees

180 - 90 = 90 degrees

As a result, we know that x = 90. Now we find the equation. Lets look at equation B. ( 2x + 90 = 180 )

Step 1 : 90 should be subtracted from both sides.

2x + 90 − 90 = 180 − 90

2x = 90

Step 2 : Divide both sides by 2.

(When I use the symbol /, it signifies I'm dividing.)

2x/2 = 90/2

x = 45

Step 3: Examine your solution to see whether it is right.

2x + 90 = 180

2(45) + 90 = 180

90 + 90 = 180

This shows that 2x + 90 = 180 is an equation that could be used to find x.

Hope this helps! :D
