Question

I need help :( its asking to solve for X​

Answer 1

`x = 57`

Step-by-step explanation:

`2y + (4y - 36) = 180` (linear pair)

Solve for y

`2y + 4y - 36 = 180`

`6y - 36 = 180`

Add 36 from each side

`6y - 36 + 36 = 180 + 36`

`6y = 216`

Divide both sides by 6

`y = 36`

✔️
`x + 51 + 2y = 180` (sum of triangle)

Plug in the value of y

`x + 51 + 2(36) = 180`

`x + 51 + 72 = 180`

`x + 123 = 180`

Subtract 123 from each side

`x = 57`
