Question

What’s the value of w?

Answer 1

w=58

Explanation:

The sum of two interior angles is the same as the exterior angle.

w-25+w=w+33

combine like terms: 2w-25=w+33

subtract w from both sides: w-25=33

add 25 to both sides: w=58

Answer 2

w = 58

Explanation:

The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

w+ w-25 = w+33

Combine like terms

2w -25 = w+33

Subtract w from each side

2w-w -25 = w+33-w

w-25 = 33

Add 25 on each side

w-25 +25 = 33+25

w =58
