Question

Which equation should you use to solve for x?

40°
60°
16x
O 60 + 16x + 40 = 180
O 60 + 40 = 16x
0 60 + 16x = 40
O 60 + 16x + 40 = 90

Answer 1

Option: A.

Explanation:

Hey there!

In the given triangle;

60° +16x° + 40° = 180° { Sum of interior angle of a triangle}

100° + 16x= 180°

16x = 180° - 100°

`x = (80)/(16)`

Therefore, X= 5°.

So, Option A (equation) is used for solving the value of"X".

Hope it helps...

Answer 2

1st Option

Explanation:

All angles in a triangle must add up to 180°.

Step 1: Set up equation

40° + 60° + 16x = 180°

Step 2: Rewrite

60° + 16x + 40° = 180°
