Question

Solve x in the diagram below

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

1) so the 60 degree angle and the x+45 degree angle are the same since they are vertical angles(angles across from each other

so

60=x+45

subtract 45 on both sides:

15=x

hence x=15

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

x = 15 degrees

Explanation:

60 and x + 45 are once again congruent

60 = x + 45

take 45 from both sides 15 = x

x = 15 degrees
