Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

As the angle of 85° measure and the angle of (3x-5)° are vertical opposite angles, the measure of both the angles will be equal so...

(3x-5)° = 85°

3x = 85 + 5

3x = 90

x = 90/3

x = 30

So x is 30°

Let's recheck.

3x-5

(3 × 30) - 5

90 - 5

85°

Hence, the value of x = 30°

Answer 2

To find the value of x, bring the variable to the left side and bring all the remaining values to the right side. Simplify the values to find the result.
