Question

write an equation to solve for x what is the value of x will mark brainious this is very confusing for me​

Answer 1

equation: 3x - 2 + 4x - 9 + 3x - 9 = 180

x = 20

Explanation:

add all internal angles

∠H + ∠I + ∠J = 180

where:

∠H = 3x - 2

∠I = 4x - 9

∠J = 3x - 9

plugin the values into the ∠H + ∠I + ∠J = 180 formula:

equation: 3x - 2 + 4x - 9 + 3x - 9 = 180

combine similar terms: 3x + 3x + 4x = 180 + 2 + 9 + 9

simplify: 10x = 200

divide 10 both sides: x = 20
