Need help with problem

Answer 1

143

Explanation:

These are corresponding angles meaning they are congruent. So we just have to set them equal to each other and solve for x. Then plug in x.

7x + 24 = 3x + 92

subtract 3x from both sides

4x + 24 = 92

subtract 24 from both sides

4x = 68

divide both sides by 4

x = 17

Now plug in x to angle A, which is 7(17) + 24

119 + 24

then add

you get:

143

Answer 2

17

Explanation:

SINCE THE LINES ARE PARALLEL THEN ANGLE A AND ANGLE B ARE COREESPONDING TO EACH OTHER.

A = 7x + 24

B= 3x+ 92

A=B

7x + 24 = 3x + 92

7x - 3x = 92 - 24

4x = 68

x = 68 / 4

x =17
