Question

What is the value of x?
A.22
B.38
C.42
D.5

Answer 1

Answer: x = 38

Explanation:

1) Add 3x - 16 and x + 6 and x together. You get 5x - 10.

2) All sides of a triangle equals 180 degrees, so that means 5x - 10 = 180.

3) Add 10 to both sides, 5x = 190.

4) 190/5 = 38

5) 38 is your answer.

Answer 2

Answer: B) 38

Explanation:

1)
`x+(x+6)+(3x-16)=180` (sum of angles in triangle)

2)
`5x-10=180` (Algebra)

3)
`5x=190`

4) x= 38 degrees
