Question

Find the value of x. 5x° 65°​

Answer 1

B. 23

Explanation:

The sum of the angles that creates a straight line is 180 degrees. So we can write the equation

5x + 65 = 180

Solve for x by first subtracting 65 on both sides

5x = 115

Then divide both sides by 5

x=23

Answer 2

B. 23

Explanation:

Total = 180° for a supplementary angle.

5x + 65 = 180

5x = 180 - 65

5x = 115

x = 115/5

x = 23
