3x-10=65

x+40=65

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

25, 65, 65

Step-by-step explanation:

So first off, we should know that corresponding angles are congruent (equal). (3x-10) and (x+40) are corresponding angles.

So, because of this we set these two equal. 3x-10=x+40

Do the algebra. Subtract x on both sides and add 10 on both sides.

This gives you 2x = 50.

Divide by 2 on both sides.

This gives you x=25

Great. Now we know what x is, so x=25 Now we have to plug this in.

3(25) - 10 = 65

25+40 = 65
