Answer: x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello again XD.
This is a coordinate plane and all the angles on a coordinate plane add up to 360°
Divide 360 by 4 to get the measurement of the section we are working in.
360/4 = 90°
This means it is complementary and complementary angles state that both separate angles added together = 90°
therefore,
6x + 2 + 40 = 90
combine like terms:
6x + 42 = 90
now subtract 42 from both sides
6x = 48
divide 6 from both sides to get:
x = 8
Let me know if you have any more questions you want answered and I hope I explained this well.
