Question

5.solve for x. 6.solve for x.

Answer 1

5. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180° so we can write:

9x - 16 + 3x + 11 + 7x - 5 = 180

19x - 10 = 180

19x = 190

x = 10°

6. Because the measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of its two remote interior angles we can write:

17x - 23 = 3x + 17 + 8x - 4

17x - 23 = 11x + 13

6x = 36

x = 6°
