Question

Solve for x.

X
x = [?]
5x -5
2x + 10
Hint: When angles form a linear pair, their sum is 180.
5x5+2x+10 = 180
Enter

Answer 1

72.5

Explanation:

5x5+2x+10=180

1.PEMDAS

2.5x5=25

3.25+10=35

4.Try to get everything away from X so move 35 to other side by subtracting since its a positive number and if negative number (ex. -35) u add, 180-35=145

5. and divide 145 by 2 than finally x is alone which comes out to x=72.5
