Question

Solve for x and then find the measure of angle, A.

Answer 1

x = 25 ; m∠A = 148°

Explanation:

∠A ≅ ∠B (alternate exterior angles)

(6x - 2)° = (4x + 48)°

2x = 50

x = 25

m∠A = 6(25) - 2 = 148°

Answer 2

X= 25 because you set both equations equal to each other so 6x - 2 = 4x + 48 then to find the measure of the angle you plug in the value of X. So angle A = 6(25) -2 = 148
