Question

Solve for x. x = [?] 5x - 16/X + 10 -​

Answer 1

First, we'll need to determine what sort of relationship the given angles have. We can see that the two angles make a straight line, so they must be supplementary, or a linear pair.

Supplementary angles/Linear Pairs create a straight line, as seen here, which means that the sum of the angles is 180 degrees.

Therefore, the two given expressions/angles will add up to 180.

(5x - 16) + (x + 10) = 180

6x - 6 = 180

6x = 186

x = 31

Answer: x = 31

Hope this helps!
