Question

Find the value of x in each case. Give reasons to justify your solutions! NEEDED ASAP

Answer 1

( x = 17° )

Explanation:

Consider the following steps;

`m< ZYW = 2x - Given,\\m< YXW = ( 3x - 5 ) - Given,\\m< XYW = 90 - Given,\\\\m< YXW + m< XYW + m< YWX = 180 - Sum of Angles in Triangle,\\( 3x - 5 ) + 90 + m< YWX = 180,\\3x - 5 + 90 + m< YWX = 180,\\3x - 5 + m< YWX = 90,\\m< YWX = 90 - 3x - 5,\\m< YWX = 85 - 3x,\\\\m< ZYW = m< YWX - Alternate Interior Angles,\\2x = 85 - 3x,\\5x = 85,\\Conclusion ; ( x = 17 degrees )`

Solution ; ( x = 17° )
