Question

Solve for X, and show the equation you would use to solve.

Answer 1

x = 20

Explanation:

There are both consecutive interior angles and are supplementary.

The equation should be written like this:

5x + 50 + x + 10 = 180

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x + 50 + x + 10 = 180

(5x+x) + (50+10) = 180 (Combine Like Terms)

6x + 60 = 180

6x + 60 = 180

Step 2: Subtract 60 from both sides.

6x + 60 − 60 = 180 − 60

6x = 120

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.

`(6x)/(6) = (120)/(6)`

x = 20

Hope it helps!!
