Question

Write an
equation and then solve for x.
1480
( 3x - 1)

Answer 1

x = 49.66667

Explanation:

Ok so we're working with vertical angles. Vertical angles are ALWAYS congruent (equal)

So, set up the equation 148 = 3x - 1 since these angles are congruent.

Now do the algebra. Add 1 on both sides. Now you're left with 149 = 3x.

Divide 3 on both sides, which gives you 49.66667.

Um, this is a weird number actually so I'm sorry if it's wrong.
