I took that test too and the answer is b
There are many strategies that can be used it really depends on what kind of questions you're answering.
8x - 19 = 36
8x = 55
x = 55/8 = 6 7/8
-2x + 19 = -66
-2x = -85
2x = 85
x = 42 1/2
Answer:
∠ BXC = 70°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠ XBC and ∠ AXY are corresponding angles and are congruent, then
∠ XBC = 55°
Since XB = XC , then Δ XBC is isosceles and the 2 base angles are congruent.
∠ BXC = 180° - (55 + 55)° ← angle sum of triangle
∠ BXC = 180° - 110° = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:
5.The measure of smaller angle is 87 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
The provided angles are 3x degree and 2x + 25 degree.
Two angles are said to be Supplementary angles if their sum is 180 degree.
It is given that the provided angle are supplementary angles, thus
3x + 2x + 25 = 180
5x + 25 = 180
5x = 180 - 25
5x = 155
x = 31
Now, substitute the value of x in first angle i.e 3x.
3(31) = 93
Substitute the value of x in the second angle i.e 2x + 25
2(31) + 25 = 62 + 25 = 87
Hence, the measure of smaller angle is 87 degrees.
