Question

1. The measures of two angles are (5x + 24) and (9x - 17). What is the value of xif these

angles are congruent?

Answer 1

x = 41/4

Explanation:

If the angles are congruent, then the equation are congruent.

Step 1: Set up equation

5x + 24 = 9x - 17

Step 2: Solve for x

1. 24 = 4x - 17
2. 41 = 4x
3. x = 41/4
