Question

What is x? Please explain how you got it so I can understand for future questions.

Answer 1

x=40

Explanation:

142=3x+22

3x+22-22=142-22

3x=120

120/3=40

Answer 2

`\boxed{x = 40}`

Explanation:

Hey there!

Well angles like 142 and 2x + 22 equal each other because they are across from each other.

So we can set up the following,

142 = 3x + 22

Single out x

-22 to both sides

120 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

x = 40

Hope this helps :)
