Answer:
21°
Step-by-step explanation:
set it up
7x-1+3x-9=180
combine like terms
10x-10=180
take the ten to the other side
10x=190
divide both sides by 10
x=19
plug x in
3(10)-9
30-9
21
(Incase you need it the other angle is 159°)
Distribute to eliminate the parenthesis
x^2 + 2x + 6x + 12 = 60
Combine like terms
x^2 + 8x + 12 = 60
Subtract 60 from both sides
x^2 + 8x - 48 = 0
Factor the equation
(x+12)(x-4)=0
x+12=0
x+4=0
x= -12 and -4
They are x = 8 and x = -4
