Question

Solve for x.
Answer Choices:
7

8

9

-11

Answer 1

X+56+x+146=180 (Because they are linear pair and are equal to 180 degrees)

(Combine like terms)

2x+202=180 (Subtract 202 to both sides because we want the x isolated)

2x+202=180
-202 -202
2x=-22 (Divide)
2 2
X=-11
Hope this helps :D

Answer 2

x = -11

Explanation:

Well the two equations add up to 180 because they are a linear pair.

x + 56 + x + 146 = 180 (collect like terms)

2x + 202 = 180 (subtract 202 on both sides)

2x = -22 (divide by 2 on both sides)

x = -11

Hope this helps ya!!
