Question

I need to find Angle B, but I cant figure it out! Please help.

Answer 1

An outside angle equals the sum of the two opposite inside angles.

So you have:

(5x-35) = 2x +58

Solve for X then you can calculate Angle B:

(5x-35) = 2x +58

Subtract 2x from both sides:

3x -35 = 58

Add 35 to both sides:

3x = 93

Divide both sides by 3:

X = 93 /3

x = 31

Now for Angle B, replace x with 31:

Angle B = 2x = 2(31) = 62 degrees.
